Can the levels be renamed in opposite order?
QUESTION:
Just wondering–could the levels be renamed to go in the opposite order? The younger kiddies have been so programmed to think that A is the best and what they should be striving for. To them, D means needing improvement. I’m afraid my kids will get confused when I tell them Level A is the worst level.
RESPONSE:
From a primary teacher on the DWStress mailring:
I thought the same thing until I taught it to my children. My second grade class learned the terms the first day of school. I had a harder time with getting my mind around it than they did! Their minds are remarkably resilient and flexible.
As a reminder TO ME, I posted the hierarchy on the wall in my room. I found that really helped.
