[quote=Anonymous]I have a child in a FCPS elementary school where awards are given to 3 kids in each class at the end of each grading period. The categories are achievement, character and personal best. I have no problem with this. Good motivation and the categories make receiving an award attainable for everyone not just the kids who get good grades. Each child can only receive an award one during the school year. So when DC comes home upset that he/she didn't receivevan award, tell them to work on improving their character or trying THEIR personal best. [/quote]
