Is it me or do schools...

[dbgtz]

recognise and award bad people but not well behaved people? For example in my school:

• a group of people who perform badly (behaviour-wise) got a trip to the new forest recently but anyone who was doing well couldn't go.
• today, a guy with really bad uniform recieved a mr potato head for having bad uniform but no one got an award for having good uniform
• i dont really care about this one but good people don't get like points of some sort (we call them merit points but i dunno what u do)

its like i might aswell avoid all the rules in order to get recognition.

Yeah, bad people who do good get rewarded, people who do good anyway dont.

[Bailey]

Same everywhere, nothing you can do, life's a *****.

[Sharon]

We get that. I do everything on the page and don't get anything. The naughty guy near me does one question - OH MY GOD THATS GREAT WORK KEEP IT UP - HAVE 5 POINTS

England is full of this my friend. It's like... It's better not to work and seak money from the government these days.

disagree with this, bad behaviour usually has alot of issues behind it, and the school are probably pastorally sorting that out.

[Samantha.]

Yeah they do. My school talk all the naughty kids on this canoeing trip and the good kids got nothing..
This is unfair, they know they can behave bad and still get rewards

[Mr-Trainor]

It's not just you, my school does it as well and it's really annoying. Like, we have an accommodation system and through the whole year I only get 1 or 2 whereas some of the badly behaved people have over 10!

Yeah this is what I believe also, and I don't think it is right. I got treated because of my behaviour (good obvvvvv) but I also know people who would constantly disrupt the lesson would also get praised and rewarded for, the people who were in the middle? Sorry, who?! Forgotten about.
