[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher said there are several children eligible for awards, but unfortunately they can nominate one child at a time.  So there will be more to come.

So I"m not concerned, she'll get that stupid award soon.  The DD is above the K level academically and is always in the "green" behavior" and she gets gifts for that every week from the treasure box.  Which I also don't approve of.

I just think that will make the kids as early as 5 have to start competing with other kids for teacher's awards and approval.  I don't like that.

What does a 5 year old get an award for? Come on. This is not rocket science, they're not doing anything extraordinary.[/quote]

But you ARE concerned. Your thread title indicates that you can't handle the competition, and you mention that you are hurt that your daughter didn't get into the club. The kids will be fine, and quirky kids will find their niche even if they have a treasure box in their classroom. Even if there is an emphasis on rule following in kindergarten.

YOU, on the other hand, sound like you have some real issues to work through. You may want to consider an alternative school if you disagree so strongly with the approach and curriculum at your school.[/quote]
