Color Coded ID Commentary
I don't think that the color coded ID is an effective system at all. It might be motivating, but it's not the right kind of motivation. I would consider this segregation. No matter what anyone tries to argue, these cards place the students in a certain category.
I don't even understand who would think that this is a good idea. Even if I just heard the idea I would think there would be a bad outcome and many complaints. Can you imagine how the kids with the white cards felt? What if some of these students are already self counscious or are picked on already in school? Bullying is a huge problem in tons of schools all around the world. I know for a fact that this would have added to that problem.
I think this is definitely a violation of student privacy. Sure, some kids don't mind and are even proud of their edicational success, but they can choose to share that information themselves. Students should not have to let everybody know in what category of intelligence they fall in to. Like here at LeJardin Academy, we exercise the right to pass. This could apply to what went on here with the Color Coded ID.
Basically, I don't agree with this color coded card crap, and I'm glad that this system does not exist anymore. Some students who holds a white card could have tried as best as they could, and are being almost punished for doing their best.
