Kindergarten Class for U. S. Congress: So many Americans have lost hope and respect in our political leaders in Washington from this last midnight hour. Before there can be any collaborative efforts and success between the Senate and House of Representatives, they all must adopt the following Kindergarten Class Rules: 1. Use positive language. Young children respond to positively phrased rules and expectations. 2. Keep rules simple. Keep rules to three - five general rules that are easy to remember and to enforce. 3. Introduce rules a the beginning of the year to set appropriate expectations. Carefully explain each rule. Give a brief rationale for the rule, but avoid over-talking or over-explaining. 4. Be a good model of behavior. If you expect children to listen when you speak, be ready to listen when they speak too. 5. Consequences of misbehavior. Enforce rules immediately and consistently. You may wish to give a warning for the first violation and consequences for the second. Assign a kindergarten teacher as a monitor during all budget negotiations and committee meetings.
