Superpower pills
I would like to have jars of candy, such as Mike & Ikes, Hot Tamales, ETC. to offer to kids before tests and assignments as "power-up pills". Is this acceptable? A good idea? |

I think it could be a good idea, but would not use the word "pills." Younger students may form the wrong idea about pills being candy or giving them powers. Older students may come from situations in their lives where they are aware of people they care about struggling with pill use.
I would also be concerned about associating positive feelings of being powerful with candy as our nation grapples with childhood diabetes. |

While the concept of "power-up pills" may have good intentions, a more accountable and efficient strategy is focusing on comprehensive techniques for student success. It guarantees that every student has the same opportunity to succeed to the best of their ability without compromising their health or possibly causing problems in the classroom. |

I think it's a good idea, but each district has different rules on food that can be given to students. I'm pretty sure all candy is not allowed because it doesn't have nutritional value. You should connect with administration about what foods you can and cannot give the kids. |

Good point! It's important to consider colleagues' opinions too. |

Not a bad idea, I wouldn’t call them pills however. Pills have a negative connotation to them especially when a kid goes home and tells their parents they were given a “pill”. I’d say call them power up pods maybe? |

This is a great idea! Of course choose a candy that aligns with all 504 protocols. I had a teacher that did this! |

I would say that students probably shouldn't have sugar before taking an exam, this may affect their attention span and their overall performance. If you want to do candy, choose something such as chocolates or jolly ranchers, hot tamales may be too hot for most students to handle. |

Power Up Pills definitely needs a name change. A good name change would be just Power Ups or something clever like Brain Brunches. Even though it needs a name change, I think that it would be a good incentive. students will look forward to class activities, but I would also make it so students who do well get an extra afterwards. |

Many others have commented that the name should be changed and I agree. You can simply call them power ups! I would actually leave candy as rewards for good deeds or grades, but not in preparation for exams or larger assignments. I substitute at many title 1 schools and some children do not have access to healthy food. I would save these "power ups" for exam days and have an assortment of health bars available for students to choose from. These could be pricey, but if you have a Costco or Sam's Club near you that sells in bulk you could save money overall. |
