In the great scheme of things, even my worst classes are not "bad" classes. Even my worst behaved kids are better than some of the best at other schools. However, since the standard is so high at my school it upsets me that much more when my kids do misbehave. So, I've come up with a new system of publicly shaming my students into good behavior. Overall, my students are very competitive, which is great because then sometimes the prize can be just to say they are the best, so it works when I "rank" students and classes over traditional grading and punishments.
