[quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. There's a similar thread about this in the Maryland schools forum. I have a kindergartener who says all his friends, got awards and he didn't and he was crushed. Crushed! He's now saying how stupid he is. How is this okay to do to a child this age? Apparently they told the parents of the few kids who were getting the awards to come to the assembly but they didn't tell the rest of us this. If we had known we would not have sent our son to school today. I am not one of those parents who thinks everyone deserves an award but the reasons for the awards at our school were just idiotic and had nothing to do with how smart, well-behaved or hardworking the kids are.
