I can't find anywhere online that proves kids are getting grades changed for turning in box tops. If some administrator is allowing this, they're about to be in the cheese line.

I've never heard of box tops for grades, but when my daughter was in fourth grade, they did box tops for credits towards the Friday goodie box.

One thing I have noticed is that in some classes, they have all semester to make up NTIs. Im a little torn on this. Its nice for kids who might have a string of inexcused absences that aren't their fault, but it gives kids this false sense that they can just coast and makes deadlines kind of pointless, which won't be the case in the real world.
