But the benefits must be there for the pupils as well or they would not request to join the system.
See my comment below for my full response to this. In short, I believe that the students who request to be put on the program do it because they want to behave in a way that gets them positive attention, and they see the behaviour of their classmates on the program changing, and want that for themselves.
I will not accept that when a child wants to be good, that shocking them is the only way to achieve that. They have come to mentally link the backpacks to good behaviour and it's now a crutch for them. I'm strongly of the opinion that the school should find these students a different and less harmful crutch.
