[quote=Anonymous]My son's daycare has a star chart where kids can get up to 4 stars a day for learning, listening, circle time, and sharing.  The stars are posted so that all parents and kids can see how many stars the kids got.  My son, 4, usually doesn't get more than 2 stars.  On some days he gets less.  I wish this weren't the case, we have been working with him, and nothing has really changed.  Recently, DS has been saying that he "hates" certain other kids because they always get 4 stars.  I offered to invite his best friend over for a playdate and he said that he didn't want the kid to come because "he's a 4 star kid and I'm only a 2 star kid."   I am sure he is just jealous, but it is making me wonder whether the system of posting the stars might be counterproductive.  It doesn't seem to be helping his behavior, and it seems to be creating animosity with the other kids.  Would you bring it up with the teacher?  I don't want her to view it as me complaining because DS doesn't get enough stars - he can be a handful, and he probably doesn't deserve them.  But if the system is creating rifts between the kids, it doesn't seem to be working well to me.[/quote]
