Tanya Nace, president of the Stratford Elementary Home and School Association, says a behaviour management program that has been used for the last five years is causing harm and bullying to students. - Cody McEachernSTRATFORD, P.E.I. — A group of parents of students attending Stratford Elementary School is upset with a behaviour-improvement system at the school they say is causing more harm than good.
“The green slip program, the school calls it a way to communicate with parents, but parents are saying it is used as a way to publicly shame children who are doing something bad or something a teacher may not like,” she said. “The green slip program, the school calls it a way to communicate with parents, but parents are saying it is used as a way to publicly shame children who are doing something bad or something a teacher may not like.”The slips, which document the behaviour of the child receiving them, are sent home with the child and require a parent's signature, said Nace. She said she has heard from some parents that students are anxious about going to school out of fear of receiving a green slip.
“Whenever they decided they wanted us to table this discussion until they talked with us about it, we felt they were trying to hide what had been happening instead of dealing with it in an open way,” she said. "This is just a small part of our program as far as being able to help children be the best they can be and to work on any unacceptable or unexpected behaviours they might have.”
