I really hate the whole food as reward thing too, and it's not like kids don't get enough sugar as it is already.<br /><br />I'm remembering candy rewwards for correctly stating the times tables now...Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689905682046916157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-1100199452535064202004-11-11T13:57:00.000-05:002004-11-11T13:57:00.000-05:00Well said.

It wasn't so much the reward, it was just being rewarded that made us feel proud. I'm happy to report that Alex's teacher rewards the kids with stickers.<br /><br />~graceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-1100166345882253982004-11-11T04:45:00.000-05:002004-11-11T04:45:00.000-05:00Please tell me they allow the children to brush th...Please tell me they allow the children to brush their teeth at least once during the day.<br /><br />Why not use alternatives~~healthy alternatives like cheese, or fruit (1 watermelon + 1 watermelon=2 watermelons~here's a baller, now eat up). There is plenty of other yummy food available. Why use food as a reward, anyway why not stickers or something?<br /><br />Now that I think about it, we didn't have all that. When Sis. Mary Patrick said add, off came the shoes and socks and we did as requested!<br /><br />I can see where this is leading~~give the kid candy, he starts bouncing off the wall, have him diagnosed as being ADHD, which will call for a daily dose of Ritlin~~such a vicious cycle!!

For even if they can burn those calories off in youth, they won't be able to when they get older. <br /><br />In school, we were never rewarded that way, and I wouldn't tolerate it for my own children (if I had any). Isn't a job well done reward enough?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893841980638109511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-1100123744506041932004-11-10T16:55:00.000-05:002004-11-10T16:55:00.000-05:00I like candyI like candyBlog hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132918853554945024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-1100123190578224142004-11-10T16:46:00.000-05:002004-11-10T16:46:00.000-05:00And will the school foot the bill for the fillings...And will the school foot the bill for the fillings that your child will need? What about diabetes? What about allergies? What about the fact that the PARENTS should have a RIGHT to be able to say "no candy for my kid"?TVJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440136203614364022noreply@blogger.com
