you deserve a gold star

Remember before all manner of glitzy stickers, before McDonald's gift certificates and dollar store rewards, there were stars: red, silver, and for that special effort, gold.

A gold star is heaven; it is a new box of crayons; it is hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream; it is a brand new Mustang bike with a banana seat and a sissy bar; it is the golden ticket inside the Wonka chocolate bar; it is a new picture of Bobby Sherman on your bedroom door; it is having a best friend.

A gold star... A few weeks ago I received a gold star by email from a co-worker for something little that I had done and do you know, that gold star made me feel great! I keep it in my "Special" email folder and I pull it out every once in a while just to look at it. The power of gold stars is vastly underrated.

I think that they should implement the "star" system at RRU instead of grades. It's unambiguous, it's symbolic; none of the plus/minus stuff or percentages. There's no arguing with stars.
