2- I cannot even begin to tell you how disappointed I am in your behavior this year. There are no amounts of apologies that could erase the way that you have acted. I have treated you like an adult, but you behave like a child.

3- It is very alarming to see grown-ups as you behave in such childish manners. It is astounding to me that you have not learned how to behave properly, or have not laid classroom decorum at all.

4- I am sorry to say that your child has been very difficult to deal with this year. Such behavior issues will not be tolerated next time.
