Seriously though, why the false dichotomy here? Well-mannered =/= conventional. It's possible to be a creative thinker and an unconventional person who has decent manners, treats others well, and isn't disruptive in a classroom environment.

Because our school, and perhaps the society, doesn't recognize quiet, smart introverts.  They recognize extroverts who are loud and visible and suck-up to the teachers.

[b]The girl who won the award has good leadership qualities and is bright.  But at the same time she's controlling and pushy.  DD said she pushes her in the back in line if she walks slow, she doesn't let DD play with other children, is mean with her, yells at her for not playing the way she wants to play, etc.  So I'm appalled she's getting a "good citizen" award.

It just shows me that the school is stupid and I can't count on the them to be fair, with my child or others and to stimulate their development.  My daughter will always be overlooked, but any psychopath will get a lot of awards[/b].[/quote]

OP, just to put your behavior in this thread out there for you to see, you certainly DID call the other girl a "psychopath," if not directly than certainly by suggestion.  You can't keep your stories straight here and you are demonizing a FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD who is still learning social skills, just like your daughter is.  You need to take a hard look at yourself and figure out why you are having these utterly irrational, over the top reactions, and ask yourself what you think you are gaining for yourself and your daughter in the process.

My opinion is that the other little girl's family would do well to stop socializing with YOU.[/quote]
