You may recall he idea of 'houses' in schools from Harry Potter (10 points to Griffindor) though of course it predates the books by generations (my own high school tried it in the 70s with limited success). In this item, "CritterCoin guides schools through sorting students into Houses and identifying the behaviors they want to reward. Schools then design their own digital coins and teachers award them in real time when students demonstrate positive behaviors." Do school houses need NFT pets? Obviously not. Will they catch on? The jury is out. (p.s. put me in Ravenclaw).
