[quote=Anonymous] Honestly, your reaction to these awards, as a parent, is all that really matters to your child. If you explain what they really are and mean, in terms of your child or your own experience, that is what will matter to your child. Home values trump the school every time. Schools are often tasked with changing things that happen at home, but this is not really possible. The parents, regardless of what people want to believe, are the biggest factor. And, if parents want to keep their child out of school on those awards days or want to opt out of various other things, they are entirely able to do so. The parents are first in our society (this is not a communist regime). We still have freedom and independence here. [/quote]
