[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s nice if this is happening, and I particularly appreciate they are sent home and not awarded publicly. I’m so tired of the “student of the week” public recognition. It’s literally always the same kids first: the teachers pets and the underdogs. Then the classically popular and the hard workers. They always recognize my kids last (generally do what they’re supposed to do, young-for-the-grade slightly less mature boys). No one realizes that this chips away at self esteem over time but it does. When you recognize one person, all the other people feel passed over. I get not everyone needs a trophy, but teachers pet doesn’t need recognition every time. It won’t inspire others to be something they are not. [/quote]
