How is this worse than medals/trophies? My son is in high school now and still has all his paper plate awards. These actually mean more to him because they are personal. |

Those baduc whate paper plates? So harmless compared to the pile of 'trophies' my young adult just tossed. |

| Mine does. My kids aren’t the popular ones though and never get one. Instead they anxiously sit there the whole time thinking that someone will call their name. It’s awful. |

I agree, that's awful. Our team gives one to every swimmer. Our swimmer coaches prepare the paper plate awards and have the roster to make sure they don't miss anyone. My oldest was a swimmer coach and the last week of swim he and the other coaches spent hours working on them. We have a team breakfast on Friday morning before Divisionals and that's when they are given out. Our high school team also gives them out. The senior swimmers gave them to the underclassmen and the juniors gave them to the seniors. My oldest was on the club swim team in college and they did paper plates as well. |
