Does anyone else think this is a little odd? My DS#1 got a letter on Friday saying this and telling him that he would be taken to the local cinema as a reward, as well as receiving a gold certificate. Now clearly he is chuffed to bits about going to the cinema and I'm enjoying him getting congratulations about anything (he's not really a star perfomer at school) but I'm not sure about the scheme as a whole. I'm lucky in that my kids don't really get sick - maybe a slight cold once or twice a year, but nothing serious. My DD has a tummy bug and had 2 days off which is presumably why she didn't get the letter but that is unusual. But doesn't it penalise those children who happen to be unfortunate enough to get ill more often - kids with allergies for example, or like DS's best mate who had epilepsy and had to go for endless tests? I can't help thinking it's a bit divisive.
Is this really a good idea?
