[quote=Anonymous]My son's teacher uses this and he tells me that the teacher is constantly having kids move their clips down the chart. And for the most minor things that you wouldn't associate with bad behavior. I asked him if he has to move his down frequently because I haven't heard anything bad from the teacher and he said he doesn't, but he's had to a few times. He told me of three occasions and only one of them seemed like a legitimate reason to be reminded of class rules. He was talking to his neighbor when he should have been sitting quietly.

He said the same kids are moving their clips every day, and that some days, almost everyone has to move the clips down the chart. He describes the teacher and the classroom environment in such a negative and depressing way. He also claims that the teacher is mean. I don't know what to tell him other than to make sure he's aware of what's expected of him in class and to do his best. I also told him that I'm not hearing anything bad from the teacher, so he must be doing alright, but he hates going to school because of the "mean" teacher. The worst part is that he seems to think that she moves clips just for things that are minor annoyances to her.

They didn't have this behavior chart at his old school. I'm hoping his teacher next year will NOT have this approach to classroom management. I guess I'm venting, but also wondering if many other elementary schools are using this as a method of classroom management. It seems like it's very distracting to my son because he's so focused on that stupid chart![/quote]
