My grandson's school took students from the school for a outing yesterday...They went to a mall where there were lots of amusements. Now it wasn't free, the parents had to pay $30.00 per child but it included the entertainment, pizza and drink...The children also had to bring money so they could do some shopping... This trip was for students who earned to go on the trip...Its was an trip that was earned by the students who has been great in their school work, academics, attendance, and ability to follow directions... I thought it was great for the school to make the effort to show the kids that being good in school is not only their obligation but it had many benefits.. My grandson was happy to tell us that he had earned the trip and we were just as happy to hear it.. By the way the school took three bus loads of good students...there were 131 students... I thought that was great!!!!! .

I think that it's a good idea. It's a good way to encourage kids to do well in school. From time to time, it's a good idea to give them a little treat, a reward for doing so well in school.

It's not just good to acknowledge them for what they did in school, It is also a Great Idea to always praise your child, when they did well in school. That is really a wonderful idea that the school take your grandchild for an outing yet it was an educational one.

That is great! Kids should be acknowledged daily and this is just wonderful. Showing kids they are on the right track is very smart. And earning things is very important. Kids need to learn that there are great things to be earned. I am glad to hear that the schools are doing this for kids.

I too believe that we should always acknowledge our kids when they've done real well in school. This is a good way to further motivate them to do good in their studies. It also teaches them the concept of rewarding good work which eventually they will experience when they grow up.

dear bjc66bjc, its my first time to know that a school took out students as a reward for good works in school. Usually it's the parents who give the rewards, an outing or educational trip is just part of their school year activities. But its a good idea for the students to strive harder :)
