Chou Chou Teach vs Class Charts

Class Charts pairs behavior tracking with seating plans, homework, and detentions. Chou Chou Teach is a simpler, positive-only points app.

Class Charts (from Tes) is a long-established behavior and seating-plan platform, popular in secondary schools and especially in the UK. It tracks both achievement and negative behavior, runs detentions, manages homework, and gives parents and students their own apps. Chou Chou Teach is narrower and gentler by design: positive-only points, no seating plans or detentions, no parent or student apps, and almost no student data.
