What rewards system did your primary or high school use?

In primary school obviously it is based much around rewards and we simply had a system of those yellow smiley stickers which you were over the moon with if you got one. If you got more than one then that was just a day forged in heaven. In high school they tried different systems, but given the size of the school they were impossible to administer so they always fell apart.

How about you?

Normally a nice little star, don't remember anything else :)

In primary, teachers did stamps in book and I remember really good work would be put up on the wall outside the principals office. We had an award ceremony every month, 'special assembly' where a class would do something special on stage and each class had someone selected for a pupil of the month certificate given out and any other awards for sports etc were given out. I don't remember any for secondary really.

In school right now we get given points which get you rewards termly/yearly.

400 - Bronze (badge)
800 - Silver (badge)
1200 - Gold (badge)
2000 - Like 5 people have this (I don't even know what this is)

If you get gold then you get to go on a trip at the end of the year (e.g. Alton Towers, Twycross Zoo) for free.

For year 11:

1000 points = £20 off prom ticket or hoody or yearbook
Get a good grade in math: £5

Merit Certificates mainly Lol

In high school we got commendations, we could save them up and purchase prizes as the end of the year and get what we wanted! I remember trying to get enough for this pen set, but I didn't make it and they were all gone anyway. However, I got a set of Horrid Henry books and some sweets. Got different stuff every year, I got a WWE Digital Camera one year too.

We usually got a fish stamp in our books... And at the end of the week if he had all 5 stamps we got to pick a small toy, candy, or another choice but we use to do this in elementary school....

In primary school we had 'Golden Time' which was like 30 minutes of playing games/watching TV on a Friday afternoon, if you did anything wrong during the week you got time took off you.

In primary school we had 'Friday Assembly', which like the name suggests was held every Friday and the best person each week would get a certificate, if you got it two weeks in a row, you won one of those cool art sets with felts and paints and all sorts.
In high school, it was mainly commendation letters and the ability to go on educational trips for free, along with a yearly prize draw dependent on whether you earned merits throughout the year. I would always be picked out of the hat last and end up with a pack of pencils or something, when other people were getting iPods.

In junior school, I had two things. Golden time which is where it would be an hour or so every term of more chill things which you get to choose but time was only ever deducted if you were really naughty (though I don't think this was ever enforced). Then we also had "smilies" and we had to collect 15 I think for each tier which consisted of bronze, silver, gold and platinum.

In secondary school we had community points (basically house points). Don't remember what collecting enough of these would give people, pretty much changed year on year. I remember you had to have a certain amount in year 11 if you wanted to go to the ball though.

My maths teacher did that in maths too for her class, weird :P. She ended up giving out something like £50. What was your maths teacher's name?

[Matt]

We had merit certificates, honors awards and house points.

[sexpot]

primary school had little sticks with three stickers, red for bad, blue for okay, and green for excellent and you got to take them home and show your parents

elementary school we had cash in 5th grade, me being the walking entity of sass that I was was in debt several hundred dollars yay capitalism

[lRhyss]

We got stamps.

If we got 5 or more before lunchtime, we were allowed into town for get dinner (Year 10+)

Otherwise, the person who had the most stamps that week in your form would get a point or something. The person with the most points at the end of the year won stuff

It's just the math department in general not one teacher. Each time we have a mock the vice head gives them out in assembly, only about 15 - 25 people get it at a time.

Tried looking for the yellow smiley stickers we used to get in primary school but can't find any images of them. :(

[UnrealGoffEmo]

Generally too in younger years they'd reward the "dossers" who couldn't behave before rewarding the good students! It wasn't a "sink school" but bad enough in that you could put your "begging bowl" out in front of a Teacher for a Merrit Slip and half expect one or better (well the dossers could) and did!!

Then there was stupid rewards if you don't wear Trainers (not allowed anyhow) and your rewarded for to the "Good Behaviour thingy" or behave in class and you are rewarded in other way's!! Rather childish all in full stop really - even say for Year 9s!

[Prosiary]

In Primary, we used to get certificates given out in the main assembly (on a Friday) for stuff like effort, and we got names drawn out of a hat if you had 100% attendence all term, also at the end of every year if you were "good" (no behaviour warnings/no lates/days off without notifying school then we watched a few movies all day.

In Secondary, we had merits. We used to get a merit book stamped, and we used to graduate depending on them, bronze was 100, silver was 150 and I think gold was 200. It changed into vivo miles from year 9 onwards and we could spend them on stuff on the site and they'd get delivered to your school, it was awarded like merits, like you get some for 100% attendance, teachers had a certain quota they had to give every week.

In grade 8 and 9 I had this system and a nice subway voucher for each time we got the certificate :8

In Grade 4 I had the star system, the more stars you have, the more prizes you can win like free pencils, erasers. Pretty sure there were prizes for higher stars but I never got that far. :'(

In Grade 5 we had two buckets at the front of the class, one labeled out, the other labeled in. The bucket would be filled with marbles.
Whenever the class as a whole did something good, someone would dip their hand in the out bucket and put the marbles in the "in" bucket. When the "in" bucket was full, we would usually get a field trip somewhere or a free dress day. In hindsight, it was a bobba system since it relied on the teachers so heavily and we only got the bucket filled like twice in the whole year. Pointless!

[Brad]

Throughout primary school we always had a sticker system... You got a sticker for reading a book. You got a sticker for remaining quiet, or being nice...
It was weird. It was like conditioning... Now I expect a sticker if I am quiet. Lol, just kidding.

[despect]

We had these cards that teachers fill out if youve done well and the person who collects the most at the end of the year will win a bigger prize :)

[-:Undertaker:-]

Ours was changed so many times I can't even recall.

Either way it was never actually used past the first week of being introduced.
