Caught in the act

Being the good kid doesn't always bring you fame and fortune.

The Massillon Middle School is changing that.

Sixth grade unit principal Steve Reinhart noted this week that being caught in the act this year is a good thing. All of the students who don't get a detention or a referral to the principal's office while making sure they aren't failing any of their classes, get to participate in a fun social event at the end of the nine week period.

Friday, the kids caught being good all quarter long get to munch on pop corn and watch a movie with their friends. The incentive, according to Reinhart, is really catching on. The kids are encouraging their friends to study for the big test and stay on their best behavior in the classroom because they don't want to watch the movie by themselves.
