[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know everyone in VA looks down on PG County schools, but I know that they do some things well -- in one school they announce who has learned his/her x2's or x4s or x7s or whatever over the loud speaker each day. I think it is a nice way to instill that sense of accomplishment and to encourage the kids who haven't met the standard yet -- to get on the ball and join those who are being noticed. [/quote] I think this is great, b/c it gives kids recognition for excelling but doesn't involve comparing kids to each other, and there is room for everyone to meet the goal. At elementary age any "rankings" would be counterproductive and purely for the parents' benefit. [/quote]
