[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids with Dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit issues will have a more challenging time to receive any such award. This smashes self-esteem even more.[/quote] My kid with most of those got a gold award. [/quote] I had all of those as a kid and I can promise you I would not have gotten any of those. But I had classmates without learning issues who would not have received them. I don’t remember academic awards at my promotion ceremony, I do remember crying at the end of pretty much every spelling bee because I sucked so badly at spelling and hating being stupid. I went on to earn a PhD but I still remember feeling oh so incredibly stupid…. I can see both sides of this. I would send the awards home and nt make a big deal of it at school. It is ES, kids are not going to be putting these awards on anything in the future. Let the parents make a big deal out of it at home.[/quote]
