At the end of the day I figured it out.
They don't need just modeling about how to behave, they need to learn a lesson that teaches them that being independent adults is our goal for them, that we actually care as teachers, and that care means limits.
The fact that none of that was said is not me, and the fact they didn't listen when I asked for quiet is not me. I didn't feel beaten, just stressed, and certainly not like a failure.
Now I am frantic, planning a whole new unit on "How to be Independent".
Double uggh.
