A school in London is using videogames as an reward for their students:

A Birmingham school has found a novel way to motivate pupils to stay disciplined – by giving well-behaved pupils a range of executive perks, including access to a computer-games room and the right to wear a special uniform.

Selly Oak School has benefited 180 students with a platinum award card, which gives them access to a games lounge, where they can play Nintendo Wii, Xbox and other console games.

The rest of the 410 students can see from outside what they are missing.

They also give the top 20 students the choice to wear a different school uniform.

While most schools give house points (shades of Harry Potter), this is more ambitious. Teachers have halved their time spent on discipline problems.

Are there districts in the US doing this?
