[quote=Anonymous]I think that if you have a good teacher who uses it correctly, the system can be effective. My son is in a K class that is very varied in terms of socioeconomic background, previous schooling experience, ability to sit still. His teacher is just great - at the beginning of the year, many kids did get reds, but she always reminded them that it was a "little deal" and they could move back up if they changed their behavior or try again for a better color the next day. Also, the kids who got good colors and earned rewards always had to pick a classmate who didn't get a good color (as long as it was not a red) to share the extra computer time, lunch with the teacher etc. Now, as the year is coming to an end, most kids get green, with some yellows, but reds are quite rare.[/quote]
