	FWIW, the problem is basically like the one Kokuramarujo had in 3rd
grade.  He is a very energetic boy so at times he doesn't necessarily do
the "sit still and wait" thing to well.  His 3rd grade teacher decided
that taking away recess would get him on the right track.  OC, it had
the exact opposite effect.  I switched schools for his 4th grade and the
new school not only has recess but gym class every other day.  Having
this out let for him helped his class behavior and grades improve
dramatically.
