I find that I don't really have the problem of kids hording money in anticipation of "popcorn" (or whatever it is) because I honestly just don't have all of those fun treats. The kids earn the money to "live" in my room. That is how they see it. That is how I see it. They just accept that spending money to go to the bathroom is part of the deal. Truly, it is that simple. I honestly can say that I haven't had problems with this, ever. (in fact, the only time I have had bathroom issues was when I DIDN'T use an economy!) Parents are told all about the system at back to school night, so they are aware. The kids are told on day one. It is simply a part of the way the room works and the kids go with it. <br /><br />Now, if a child has to use the restroom, and he has no money, I won't deny him. He can go. He just goes into debt. The kids know that I would rather them go into debt than pee on my chairs....and they go to the restroom ;) ~Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302695374678919562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-16050717113180037022014-05-26T16:44:36.428-07:002014-05-26T16:44:36.428-07:00Hey, I just saw some news article about a teacher ...Hey, I just saw some news article about a teacher who uses a classroom economy and includes the bathroom privileges. Two girls wet themselves, claiming it was because they wanted to save their money for a bag of popcorn and just "hold it" till later. I immediately thought of your blog, because when I read about HOW you use it, I thought it was great. Have you heard about this? The teacher never got in trouble, which makes me think s/he must be using it appropriately and never denying students the right to use the restroom, but it makes me think about how easily strategies like this can be misinterpreted. How do you handle these sort of anticipated problems?Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-83329869661837016122013-11-17T18:25:52.566-08:002013-11-17T18:25:52.566-08:00I also have started using a classroom economy this...I also have started using a classroom economy this year.

They make denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, & $100. That way students can't keep the money from year to year. They have to study, design and produce their money. We also talk about real verses fake! The students then must persuade their classmates to vote on their money! Whoever gets the highest vote wins the right to be used on that money! The students then must cut the money. They hate that!

I like how you have the students responsible for running the economy system. I was wondering if you have a list that shows what the responsibilities are for each of the student jobs, and if you would mind sharing them?<br /><br />Thank you,<br />AshleyAshley Depewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644528059740553171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-84762125027977990942012-01-18T07:43:51.235-08:002012-01-18T07:43:51.235-08:00Author and 5th grade teacher, Rafe Esquith uses a ...Author and 5th grade teacher, Rafe Esquith uses a similar system!
