[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience as a teacher, teachers tend to resort to things like a food/candy reward when everything else has failed. Cut them some slack; student behaviors are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.[/quote]

Parents have to deal with the same challenges (and the future eating disorders). Why should teachers get to claim the cheap and easy tactics?[/quote]

If you think a classroom pizza party is going to give your kid an eating disorder, consider that the unhealthy relationship to food may be coming from you …[/quote]

I don't care about classroom parties or pizza.  I do care when kids are given candy as a specific reward tied to doing a daily assignment or whatever, like they are dogs getting treats, particularly when the treats go to only some of the class.[/quote]

You should go to a charter.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Go to a charter and you won’t have to worry about candy or sweets - none at our charter.[/quote]

Why the difference?[/quote]
