Give Them Chocolate

A Norfolk head teacher has said there have been no exclusions from his school since he started rewarding pupils with chocolate for good behavior.

Now there is the expected criticism over contributing to obesity and dental problems, however you cannot deny its success.

Still, you have to wonder what the School Food Trust has in mind with its suggestion that it would be better to use healthy food as a reward. We could argue the reasons behind chocolate’s popularity, probably pointing a big finger at advertising but the reality is there is no way on earth pupils are going to consider healthy foods a reward.
