I remember teachers making stars on our work – sometimes more than one if our work was really good – and always at the top of the page. Some teachers used stickers or stamps instead of stars (in elementary school) – when I was a kid sticker collecting was popular, so we loved getting stickers on our work!

Thanks for reading and writing about CulturallyTeaching! I’m enjoying reading your blog – http://blog.prathambooks.org/

Take care,

In India too, check marks indicate a correct answer! I do recall that if you did really well, teachers would indicate how good your work was by placing stars (1-3 stars) at the end of your work. Do they ever do that in America?

By the way, blogged about Culturally Teaching at:

Read about the school snapshot project too and will blog about it soon. Deserves a separate post . But, you may like this video of kids going to school all across India:

Good luck with your project and looking forward to more updates on schools from all across the world.
