Re: some dogs go back to the porch

Well sure, there will always be something that just doesn't fit, and
that does need to be tweaked.
What I've seen some teachers do is treat CM like a buffet line - a
little of Love and Logic, a little Wong, a little Cantor. That can
work, but it requires that the teacher actually commit these parts
into a coherent whole. If it doesn't happen, then there's no system
in place.
I've also seen the half-hearted approach - the teacher says, "I use
X" but then slides off the system within week 3 and is surprised when
the students aren't behaving. It takes a real commitment to stick
with a system long enough for the students to learn it.
The commitment is the key - X means X and means X and means X - never
Y, just X.
