[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you on no rankings or percents in elementary, but don't agree that creativity should be lumped in to this discussion. My son's 1st grade AAP pull out is the only time other than writing that he gets to think out of the box. It certainly isn't hurting him and is continuing to help him be engaged in math even though much of the work in class is not at his level.[/quote] I don't think rankings and percentages are necessary, but I have no problems at all with awards as others have mentioned. "Best Language Arts Student of the Quarter". "Most Helpful". I went to a private school and all of these awards had names, but absolutely girls got recognition for working and performing at a stellar level. We've become so focused on not making poor performing kids (whether academically or athletically) feel bad that we lose sight of the importance of encouraging and rewarding success. [/quote]
