[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care about such things, OP. I have a gifted, highly functional teen who achieves effortlessly. I also have a now-adult child with autism and ADHD who had to work very hard for decent grades and benefited from accommodations. In our house, we praise EFFORT. Not awards. Awards are meaningless. [/quote] Would you put in balls-to-the-wall effort at a job for 15 straight years with no pay raise or promotion or being employee of the month? You would be fine with seeing all the praise go to your coworkers and you never get acknowledged for what you've done? Would you be fine with that? I would get not. School is our kids' job. They need occasional rewards, awards. To say awards are meaningless is stupid.[/quote]
