How does this work?

Welcome to Briscoe's Compliments pages! This is where you can post something nice about other people in the Briscoe community. Just click on the link at right for the team the person is on, click on that page and type the person's name and your compliment.

We started with 6 Blue a little while ago - check out their page so you can see how it's done.

A few things to know:

• You have to enter the password Briscoe to get into the pages.
• All comments are moderated and will not go live until they've been checked by Ms. Woznick, Ms. Rickerl, or another Briscoe teacher.

A few rules of the road:

• Say something positive about the person's personality, talents, skills, or something nice you saw them do. Specific is good.
• Don't include comments about personal appearance ("you're pretty" or "you have awesome clothes") or photos. This is not a beauty contest!
• Use school-appropriate language and try to spell right.
• Think of people you don't know as well, not just your best friends... maybe someone who would like to know that other people notice their good qualities. Or think of someone who you know could use a little boost.

Other Schools Are Doing This Too!

This is a trend across the country. Lots of high schools and colleges have "Compliment" pages on Facebook. We have ours on Padlet because no one needs to sign up to post and it can be moderated.

Here's a look at how some other schools are doing it.

Cyber-graciousness? New craze in Facebook pages allows users to anonymously post compliments about community members : A Maryland high school's 'compliment' page actually had to be shut down when student creator became overwhelmed with the number of NICE things people were posting about each other.
