Points
What every entry is worth, who sets it, and what never changes.
Mohanji set the amounts, and they are the same in every school. Nobody chooses a number, so a point means the same thing in every classroom and no teacher can favor a child or be accused of it.
The table
| Entry | Points | Who records it |
|---|---|---|
| An act of goodness | +10 | The teacher who saw it |
| A peaceful week (Harmony week in the app) | +5 | The class teacher, once a week |
| A deduction: hurt someone, or neglected a duty | −10 | The head of the school, after a checked complaint |
| A deduction: violence, bullying or deceit | −25 | The head of the school, after a checked complaint |
| A restoration | The exact points back | The counselor or the head, when the way back is walked |
A school can rename a kind of deduction or add one of its own, and can hide a kind it never uses. It cannot change what an act or a peaceful week is worth.
What the points are for
Points are recognition, not a race. They add up on a child's own record and on the certificate the school prints. They never appear as a rank: no leaderboard, no class total on the wall, no comparison between children. The classroom screen shows leaves and first names and never a total.
Leaves, badges, the tree
Every act of goodness adds one leaf to the class tree. The tree is what the class watches grow together.
| Badge | Earned at |
|---|---|
| Leaf | 3 acts in one kind of goodness |
| Flower | 10 acts in one kind of goodness |
| Fruit | 25 acts in one kind of goodness |
A badge is earned, never given. It appears on the child's record, on the certificate and in the week's circle.
When points come back
A deduction opens the way back. Once the counselor has walked its steps with the child and written the repair, a restoration returns exactly the points that were taken. The deduction stays in the record, marked restored; nothing is erased. See The way back.
When an entry is reversed
If the review board finds that an entry should not stand, it records a reversal: a new entry with the opposite points. The original stays exactly as written, marked reversed, and no longer counts toward leaves, badges or the circle. See The review board.
