Earning..

Carlton truly has the point system down pat. He understands how it works, who it benefits, what privileges he can earn, he knows what he can depend on!

Our point system evaluates 5 areas: 1) On time, 2)respect to self and others, 3)quality participation, 4) follows home rules and requests, 5) ownership. It is evaluated as Yes, Incomplete or No. Through the week Carlton has to bring the evaluation to me 4 times a day (at our designated time). It is his responsibility to bring it to me...He is the one earning privileges. He has to have 75% of his points on 3 out of 5 week days to earn privileges for the weekend. This past week he did not. Yet, he still questioned privileges. This morning in his questioning and expecting privileges he did not earn he lost his points for ownership. Over all this behavior management has been excellent. Carlton knows what he can earn and what he has not earned. But, as we all are from time to time, he wants the rules to bend for him. Just can't happen.
