[quote=Anonymous]They used it in my daughter's K class last year, and now they're using something similar in 1st. It's only the second week of school, so I don't have a sense yet of how the 1st grade teacher is using it, but I felt like the K teacher last year used it pretty responsibly -- she made a big point that everyone started every day on green, and everyone got a warning before their color changed, and there were ways to get back from a yellow to a green. I will note that they did not use this system in the PK3/PK4 classes. I'm not a child development expert, but I can see it not being as effective/healthy for younger children. My pediatrician says kids get really rule-oriented around age 6, so I can see the stoplight approach working well at that point, but not earlier. [/quote]
