I always thought the power of it came from the "public humiliation" aspect of having everyone clearly see who got into trouble.<BR/><BR/>Can you wedge the chair in someplace so there's no room to spin? Or perhaps shove something up in the base to keep it from being able to rotate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381423588474520645.post-84142723061769733942008-02-03T01:27:00.000-06:002008-02-03T01:27:00.000-06:00As far as I know, Hud hasn't gotten his name on th...As far as I know, Hud hasn't gotten his name on the board yet this year.

I am so tired of saying, "NO SPINNING IN THE CHAIR," that I might just add, "AND IF YOU DON'T STOP NOW I'M WRITING YOUR NAME ON THE BOARD." Think that it will wield the same power with a 3-yr-old?Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556448473337499886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381423588474520645.post-69726168206618296582008-02-02T20:33:00.000-06:002008-02-02T20:33:00.000-06:00I don't know why that phrase wields such power, bu...I don't know why that phrase wields such power, but it does. I was asked once by my kindergarten teacher to "keep it down" (the warning before name goes on the board). I was so embarrassed that I had let her down that I "kept it down" the remainder of my schooling years. However, those words had zero power in my younger sister's mind, and she frequently found her name on the board in big mouth. Maybe it's a first-born thing.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324510248543290901noreply@blogger.com
