[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. For those that support award ceremonies, why do you think they are a good thing? I really don't see the benefit in them and my kids have always thought they were silly. I am genuinely curious - why do some people like them?[/quote] Maybe in this area kids who are more academic are acknowledged more often, but when I was growing up, little award ceremonies were probably the only acknowledgment in front of my peers I ever got for being good at school (other than grades themselves). The rest of the time, I was picked last at gym and awkward. Honestly, things weren't so high-stakes back then. And I don't think we ever got awards in the lower grades in elementary school. It wasn't such a huge deal. Everybody now is so high-strung.[/quote]
