[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was in this position which was not a huge deal but a bit unpleasant. I think the issue was she’s both an excellent student and very independent-never asked for help, did  it seem to need encouragement, etc. I think sometimes teachers use discretionary awards for students they like or have made great strides, which is okay but it doesn’t feel great to feel invisible.

[b]Also, the kid who got the kindness award is well known by the students to be a really mean kid, [/b]and that actually made her feel a little better. [/quote]

This seems to be universal[/quote]

+1, what gives with this "kindness" award or "good citizenship" award that so many schools give out? Thought many years of experience in both public and private schools, I have seen multiple kids who are straight up bullies receive such an award. Every once in a while I'll see a genuinely nice kid win, but for the most part it is mostly kids who can charm/fool the adults, but are mean to their peers. I'm talking about not just exclusionary snobbery, but downright mean and controlling behavior towards other kids. [/quote]
