[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe so many moms are still on the "everyone gets a trophy" kick.  Everyone is equal. Everyone works the same. Bullshit. If your kid only gets b's and c's and you are content they will never work harder. I agree with balance but most kids, especially middle schoolers, need motivation. This is pizza and party is one of them. It wasn't like they were completely excluded. I see so many kids going thru MCPS barely working, goofing off, and the helicopter mommy comes in to complain that johnny isn't getting good grades because of the teacher or something else.

Pizza and soda party given at the school at the school's discretion of who attends.  I call bullshit.  I've spent a lot of time in the school system and can tell you that not all kids get treated the same, the ones whose parents are involved and active do get better treatment.  The teachers, administration and staff don't want to have a face a parent that they know is frequently in the school.  Now the parents who are not involved, their kids won't get that much attention.

There is favoritism and rules get bent for some kids, while other kids are just ignored and shoved to the side.

It's not the schools place to reward good grades, it's the families place.[/quote]
