Em duas escolas da Califórnia os alunos passaram a usar símbolos coloridos correspondentes aos seus resultados escolares. Enquanto que as cores positivas dão direito a benefícios, os alunos com crachás de cores negativas são obrigados a esperar numa fila especial pela comida no refeitório e não têm acesso a uma série de actividades.
The two schools' questionable motivational tactics involved issuing color-coded student identification cards based on performance on state tests. High-performing students received black cards, the ones in the middle got gold ones, and the lowest-scoring group got white IDs. The schools then awarded discounts and perks around campus to the students with the black and gold cards.
According to The Orange County Register, black cardholders got into home athletic events for free and received "discounts to school dances and at local businesses." Students with gold card were offered more limited discounts. As for white cardholders, they were forced to pay full price for everything and had to stand in a separate, slower lunch line in the cafeteria. Fonte
Já agora os autores da "brilhante" ideia californiana podiam passar a usar estes crachás ou estes chapéus. Serviam-lhes que nem uma luva!
