Tommy is now out using trimmers to clear the back hillside which has been a constant battle with Mother Nature. It’s rewarding to see the work getting done and seeing Tommy have a real life consequence for his actions.
He asked “Why am I having to do this?” to which I calmly replied “Because you disrupted the class during TCAPs and you disrupted my day and your mother’s day. Because you didn’t do what you were supposed to do.” No further discussion from Tommy.
