[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to give awards for a few kids, it’s not okay in elementary to give out an award that 75% of the kids get. It’s elementary school. [/quote] This. If you want to give an award to 10%, fine. Most kids won't receive it and nothing will mark those who don't as dumb or stupid. Once you cross a threshold, it becomes less about recognizing kids who did well and more about pointing out those who didn't. If three quarters of kids get an award, then the award is pretty meaningless unless you're part of the 25% who didn't even hit that mark. [/quote] I agree with this. The awards as they stand are meaningless because most get them. But I also don't think those that don't receive them should ascribe that much meaning to them. [/quote]
