Right. Wow. OP you are way over the top. If the girl is mistreating your daughter, talk to the teacher. Who cares about awards in kindergarten?? My DS (second grade) is amazing, has never gotten a special award, and we don't care. Moreover, we don't fume and ruminate over who should and shouldn't get awards. We don't assume our son is a victim because he didn't get a medal or award, and we don't encourage him to think that way either.

Sheesh. Why don't you, people, get that it's not about the awards.  I'm looking at the big picture.

I'm judging the environment where my child will spend the next 10+ years.  This is the place where she spends most of her waking hours.  It will shape my DD, her education, her character and her future life.  [b]So it is very important.[/b]  It's important what will be re-enforced, what will be rewarded, what will be held back.

She's not a victim now, but I don't want her to become one down the road.. of an education system that provides mediocre education while promoting obedience and competition while killing individuality.  Now I understand why homeschooling is becoming increasingly popular.

I understand some of you are teachers and are getting a little defensive. But you are the ones that make up this mediocrity.[/quote]

If it is is SO IMPORTANT (and I agree it is) - FIND HER A PRIVATE SCHOOL[/quote]
