We have a Star of the Week at our school, they all get it eventually. DS1 in year 6 and DS2 in reception.
What I don't get is the logic of how it is given.
There are two boys in the reception class whoose behavior is appalling, one chucks stuff and never sits still and is very disruptive and the other has bitten another child on the face, headbutted another and split his lip and scratched another childs face deeply - yet both have been star of the week!
What does that teach those who are behaving and doing well? That bad behavior is celebrated? I get they are trying to encourage good behavior from the bad, but is this the way? My DS in reception has said that it is not fair because they have been very naughty. They have been told you get star of the week for good behavior and helpoing etc etc.
Am I missing something here? And I am not moaning that my DS has not yet got star of the week as he will eventually, they all do, but there are 23 other kids beside these two that manage to behave.
