[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you can't reward genuine hard work because the ones who aren't academic stars will get their feelings hurt? Millennials in a nutshell. [/quote]

Jeezus, can you read or put three thoughts together to form a coherent argument? Stop watching so much Fox Snooze, it rots your brains.[/quote]

Pp here and I loathe Fox News and would never lower myself to watch it. My point stands. It is ridiculous to deride awards because they point out some people are NOT achievers and that is a very recent attitude. [/quote]

That is not the reason offered for "deriding awards."  It is the measured, documented (as well as anecdotally observed) impact of these awards that are the reasons for deriding them.  You see?  There is a logical, empirical argument for it.

Just like there is (hopefully) a logical, empirical argument for any number of policy and practice decisions. Not just that someone somewhere likes it and thinks it's fine.[/quote]
