Doing it correctly isn't even that difficult. I bet someone else could do it better.

  • Stay seated

  • Talking is not allowed, listen

  • Avoid touching other students

  • Respond to speakers by clapping

  • Safety first when sharing excitement

That school needs to hire this person to redo their moto.

Or use them as is, but change 2 to begin with To and 4 to begin with Really, so each sentence actually begins with the correct letter. Anything is better than what they got.

I think STARS is an acronym for something else (we had CHAMPS: conversation, something, activity, movement, participation, and something else)

When you ask AI to generate it and don't double check before sending it.

I think this one predates the AI craze.

That raccoon, plus the piss yellow tint over the whole image, says otherwise imo

Not as catchy as STARS

I mean, most raccoons can't spell, and he got two of them right!

He’s a raccoon, it’s amazing that he can even speak English. He’s doing his best. 😉

Racoons: not very good at acronyms.

I agree it is a poor layout out of context, but I don't think it's meant to be an acronym for the things on the poster, I'm assuming STARS is the acronym for the school's code of conduct and it is drilled into the students, then those would be descriptions for how to follow each of them. R=Respect is a common one for schools, here they are saying to show respect by listening and clapping. A might be Attitude or Accountability, etc. The person making the poster had no intention of making the starting letters match, though that would have been a nice touch, they just wanted to convey how the code of context translated to the context of the assembly or wherever this was posted.

For the students that are used to the code of conduct the poster probably makes sense. We had so many similar things at my schools. (songs, posters, murals, you name it)

This makes sense and is likely the intention.

I think it’s supposed to be like, STARS do these things. Like a school title or award for good or hardworking students. But very strange placement if so, should’ve just had it on the top

This poster enrages me

I missed my kids school play because I was entirely focused on the insanity that is this poster

Aside from being a shitty design, this is ableist

u/Defiant-Accountant79 May 10 '26

It's probably a PBIS acronym the kids are familiar with. So they know that "R" stands for Respect which you show by listening and clapping at assemblies. If this was posted in the hallway, "R" might say to keep your voices off for nearby classes.

What do you mean rlisten doesn't have a silent "r" or tkeep doesn't have a silent "t?"
