I live in DC so i am hearing this late and cant call in, but I could have won the contest hands down....
I used to have some "behavior problems" when i was a kid. My mom put me on a "demerit" system. each time I misbehaved she took away something. here is what it was like for me when I hit the bottom.
Everything was taken out of my room, all i had in there was my bed and desk. I had to stay in my room when i was not at school. I could only come out to eat, and i could not eat with the family. In the summer i had to eat outside, and in the winter i had to eat in the garage. and I could not eat what everyone else was eating, I had to eat 'homemade' milk and muffins. I also could not leave the house in the evenings or weekends with the family, I was left home alone. I was not allowed tv or phone or friends. it was pretty much like home arrest.
I also remember my mom tried punsihing me by withholding food. She did not feed me for over a week. The shcool and my dad didnt like this, and it didnt last too long. She also did a "toys for tots' thing, where every time I missbehaved they put one of my favorite toys into a big box. when the box was filled, I had to donate it to charity. all this during 3rd and 4th grades....
wow, I wonder why I am not in a mental institution now... I guess I learned from my 'mistakes'..... =) funny thing is, i never remember acting up, i just remeber being punished, and did not fully make the connection, as to why I was being punished in the first place. Maybe that was the problem.....
(it will rub the lotion on its back).. =)

actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule..."
