Abstract
A behavior modification system, for school and institutional settings, comprising Internet-enabled software adapted to receive reports of misbehavior and to automatically generate, schedule, and track consequences for the misbehavior. The system also has the capability to receive reports of serious misbehavior and automatically transmit those reports to school administrators, parents, etc. The system assists teachers and administrators to provide simple, consistent, and objective negative feedback for improper student behavior.
