[quote=Anonymous]At our local kids sports teams everyone gets a medal and they don't keep score. Rankings come soon enough. I'm always more concerned about teachers giving appropriate work to my child at their level than what rank my child was as if my child could actually be a certain academic rank all year. There are many studies out there that say rankings are not the best way to go in the long run. Learning isn't always working for a prize, children feel let down if they change in ranking, if you are on top and things are easy, the ranking doesn't really push you to go higher, children settle for being ranked low and think they're dumb, etc.[/quote]
