[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday my kids school held an award ceremony (the umpteenth one this year) and the same 10 kids keep getting awards for their good grades, that's wonderful. I'm sure they will be getting awards and recognition for years to come on their ability to memorize and regurgitate information. I wonder when we will be giving awards for the nice kid, or the kid who came back from hospitalization and worked to get Bs, or just generally other kids. SO glad to be moving out this area where if you don't get middle school straight As, you are basically failing.[/quote] Many years ago and two principals ago, our Arlington elementary school gave out "BUG" awards: "Brought Up Grades" for students who improved their grades from the previous quarter. I thought that was not just a nice recognition of their efforts and achievement; but a good motivation for kids to work a bit harder. [/quote]
