It seems though I'm not the only upset parent. When the teacher gave me the note she mentioned how a bunch of parents have freaked out about the system. So perhaps after enough of us say something, they will look at this system and remove the public part of it. I actually have no issues with using goal setting to correct behaviour since it's far more positive and includes the child in fixing the problem. I just want that part where it's on the board in the front of the class gone.
I hope it goes well, I completely agree with you that the new system sounds exactly like the old one with all the same problems just framed with newer sounding rationalisation. With that many teachers using it that sounds like an uphill battle; if a group of professionals think something is a good idea they reinforce each others' beliefs.

Hopefully it isn't the principal that brought in this idea!

I've even read things that say both correction and praise should be given privately.
