A lot of donors give toys to the school. They just lie around in the office because there are not enough of them to give the kids to play or might be inappropriate for school time use.
For example teddy bears. You can't give a class of 45 kids 3 bears to play with, for obvious reasons.

The NGO committee thus decided to give each class teacher a bear to give to her best student instead of having them all just lie around in the office.

The day I told my students that the best behaved would get the bear, they were all so best behaved that I realised I needed to milk the bear for all it was worth.
Again.
You see its a second hand bear.

'Kids, I shall make a performance chart. Good behaviour will get you stars. Bad behaviour will take away your stars. And the student with the most stars at the end of the year (I might as well have them quiet for the rest of my stint) will get the bear!'

'Really miss?'

'Really'

'Miss i'll get it.'
'No, i'll get it.'

'Then behave. No talking.'
(Hey, and we will even learn subtraction)

Its truly beautiful.
Magical.
Even Shahid sits in his place.
I have a class of perfect students.
I don't know why I didn't think of the performance chart earlier.
Military, Communists, Job titles.. I had so many past examples to assist me, and I still didn't pick up on it.
Darn.
But better late than never.

I am so happy.
Will continue to be happy.. until the bear stops fascinating them.

And I have a conscience. Since im making them wait so long for it, im going to throw in some other gifts too. Probably chocolates and art material. Maybe even books. On science.
Yes, thats good.
