In moderate defence of this...
It sounds like the new rules are for a very specific group of troublesome students and not a general rule. Clearly there is more to this story than meets the eye.
I agree that on the surface this doesn't look like it's a very good idea at all. I think Mal has it on the nose... overindulgence is not the way to prepare anyone for the real world.
Getting rewards for being on time and having all the right books? Bloody hell. These are the minimum requirements. Show up and be prepared for class. I'm all for positive reinforcements but not so much for things like this... At home, I have started giving my kid an allowance. This allowance is in no way tied to his chores (clearing the dishes, walking the dog, etc.). His chores are just what he does as part of the family that lives in our house. Why would I pay him for that?
