[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immigrant here. Just stop comparing, OP. I've seen first hand, over multiple schools and many years, how it can all too easily turn into a popularity contest. My young adult with special needs put in a ton of effort throughout K-12, but this was invisible to his teacher and he never got any awards geared towards "effort". And one high schooler who is gifted (not just straight As but several grades ahead in math and always contributes the right answers in class, etc) and has never gotten any achievement awards either. They're both introverted kids who are polite to all but aren't loudly making friends with teachers and students and emoting all over the place.

At our high school kids with special needs weren’t left out. There was a huge variety of abilities at awards night. Sports weren’t highlighted at our school which is in a chill liberal town with middle class, upper middle class and super rich neighborhoods.   It has its problems like any high school but they tried to acknowledge the variety of students they had.   [/quote]
