[quote=Anonymous]pp here... Also want to add that the schools give WAAAY too many rewards these days as it is. The kids don't need freakin' rewards for everything. It starts in kindergarten with stickers and lollipops and then goes on with all kinds of convoluted reward systems that see the teachers having to spend their own money on things (even if they're from the dollar store, they add up!) Why is getting straight As not considered a reward in itself? The achievement is the reward. I think we do the kids a disservice to suggest anything else. I think we'll also see problems with this in society in the future as this generation becomes adults who expect every little achievement to have a material reward. (I've already heard from a high school teacher how when he tells a student they did a good job, they say "what do i get?")[/quote]
