[quote]Branch has already come up with his own strategies for retaining students, and he has beat his enrollment targets every year. Starting in April, he offers a treat — a ice pop party or a movie — every Friday for students who have re-enrolled. In June, he puts on a day-long carnival, and only those students who have completed their enrollment paperwork are admitted to the choicest parts, such as the waterslide, the Ferris wheel and the dunk tank.[/quote]

I really hate it when we reward or punish children for things that are well beyond their control. Children don't decide whether they are going to re-enroll. At my EOTP school they had dress down days at the end of the year and my DD's class missed out on getting to do so because I'm choosing not to re-enroll. Let me be clear, I'm fine with kids being rewarded for things they have some measure of control over such as good behavior, good grades, etc. [/quote]

This is very disturbing.  Why was this even allowed.  It really does make those running the schools seem very immature.  I guess it must have made you feel good about not re-enrolling.[/quote]
