For students who deserve an Excellent conduct grade, we intentionally add points so that the points qualify them for that grade.  Similarly, this is what happens with students who deserve a Good conduct grade.
Therefore, the point system is quite redundant.

This list should be corroborated by all subject teachers. Subject teachers can also nominate deserving students who are not already in the list. FTs and subj teachers can then discuss to confirm on final list. 

FTs to nominate students for Good conduct grade. At the same time, reasons on why these students deserve that grade should be stated. This list should similarly be corroborated by all subject teachers. FTs and subj teachers can then discuss to confirm on final list. 

Majority of students will be given Very Good conduct grade.  ]]> 2023-04-05 06:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2544651637 Refresh every term yu_siew_hui https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2544660047 Pros: 
students cannot assume they'll get same grade and will work for it or even set goals to maintain or improve the grade.

Cons:
parents might complain]]> 2023-04-05 06:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2544660047 Teachers should be allowed to give a child who deserves a poor or fair conduct. https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546037124 2023-04-06 08:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546037124 No need to have complicated system. Just follow our gut feeling (and award the conduct grade) which many schools are using and also it was more effective than the merit and demerit points. Form teachers/Subject teachers know the students the best. Usually most of the students' behaviour are consistent across. https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546038593 2023-04-06 08:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546038593 NO additional work. NO staying back after school or after CT to talk about conduct grades as we are all tired....Pls. Thanks. https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546040213 2023-04-06 08:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2546040213 Continue the points system https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2574567882 The points system is specifically put in place to prevent arbitrary awarding of grades. Many schools are already doing this process. This idea of ‘we already have a grade in mind’ is too subjective and not fair to the child. 

However, the points system can be improved. The ranges can be tweaked such as that, without any leadership roles, it is still possible for a child to get Excellent, provided they get full points for all the given parameters. Conversely, even if a child does not get full points for all the parameters, if they are involved in leadership roles, the points will come in to enable them to get the Excellent grade.

In addition, to stagger the points for Leadership roles with respect to the quality of their contributions.]]> 2023-05-02 03:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tan_sen_lee/by0js79vwka9cylg/wish/2574567882
