Passing Notes

I don't usually talk much about what happens in class - or maybe I do. I haven't looked back through my posts lately. Anyway, the little girls in my room have decided this is the year to pass notes. Not nice wholesome notes "Johnny says he likes you." or "I'm having pizza tonight, wanna come over?" No, these are naughty, evil little notes "Sarah says she hates you. And so do I." "You are so mean and I'm never going to talk to you again." (Oh, but I'll write stupid notes to you...)

Anyway, I have talked to these young things over and over about how hurtful these kinds of things can be, but no luck. Still passing notes. So I'm putting it out to the universe. I know most of us passed notes in elementary school. Can you recall a really good solution or punishment you received? Or maybe a teacher handled it in an unusual or unique manner where you actually learned something. I'm pretty done with the whole note thing and made them stay after school tonight and write what they were going to do differently. But I'd like a real solution. We've had the meetings and the discussions but it's not getting very far. So help me out here, friends and family. It's annoying, messy, and distracting along with being just another form of girl bullying. I've never seen a group so wrapped up in it before. Let's think of something really useful to do with this situation, 'cause the bad ass in me wants to make them all write "I won't pass notes" 100 times on the chalkboard after school...

For my family who keep asking what I want for my birthday

This is the one I originally thought would be nice.

This is the one I found the other day and wonder if it would be better: http://www.amazon.com/T-Fal-FP4121002A-Emerilware-Food-Processor/dp/B001BHOWZK

Mike - I certainly don't want BOTH, and I really, really want to see both options before I buy. One is at Macy's one is at Dillards. Let's go shoppin'

Other items I would like to have:
These come in two sizes and you can sometimes find vintage ones that are new rather than used. Mine are becoming too roughed up to be safe - bacteria in all those little bubbled areas, you know. Anyway, ebay is your best bet and you can just search for Tupperware Mix & Stor (go figure) I'd rather have new or at least very nice used. (I already have very used.)

I would also enjoy a digital food scale. Don't care which one.
It is kind of crazy that everything I've listed here is for the kitchen this time. Some non kitchen items might be tickets to a movie or a DVD of a movie we didn't get a chance to see. You guys always please me, so get what you want. Just having you around is a gift.
