Puma's Tale

CORE is one of the newest concepts and probably the most talked about. I have only seen one person so far fill out a CORE sheet even though people are still behaving badly. The kid I saw filled it out because he spoke without raising his hand. The kids that kick lockers get no punishment.

CORE is a new concept that is used to enhance positive behavior. I think that the positive behavior is definitely being enforced. This kid that always behaves badly got a CORE Card and he taped it to his shirt and paraded it around the school for the rest of the day. I've noticed an improvement in his behavior since he gets more and more chances to win free food. The kids that are usually good though don't get rewarded as much, but I think that's okay. Some kid that has been good their whole lives and doesn't get as many CORE Cards as some bad kid isn't all of a sudden going to go bad.

I think that CORE is a definite succes. Community minded, Owning it, Respectful, and Eager to learn is a great way to go through school.
