j.j I teach lower elementary so it hasn’t felt super necessary but I’m worried they might complain. I think I’ll give out some fun reinforcement activities for class points and not for grade credit. Esp. since a lot of my kids don’t have much support at home so it doesn’t seem fair.

Plus they’re in class for 7 hours a day! Let them have a break and a chance to be kids.

    It is sad that some parents still have that mindset SMH

    I think your idea of going the not for grade credit is spot on. You are taking care of your students even beyond the classroom while keeping the parents and school system “happy”. I wish the whole system was different so we wouldn’t have to worry about petty stuff like this. Petty coming from school authorities, not petty coming from you.
