Rebbies should NOT be giving nuts to children. Besides potentially being a choking hazard in the age group that most needs the “reward” system, there are too many nut and seed allergies in children nowadays, and many schools are now nut-free zones (with the exception of some of the teachers and administration who are CLEARLY nuts! JK ) I agree that certain types of nosh are bad for kids, so maybe they can use stickers and tickets (which are redeemable at the end of the year) for a nice prize. My son’s rebbie gave them such tickets, and they are very excited at the end of fifth grade to get toys and games. One nice gift, versus a lot of chazzerai, meant a lot to them.
