[quote=Anonymous]There is a reason why schools have an honor roll I or honor roll II. There are reasons why athletic teams in HS have cuts and have JV programs. There is a reason why the best kids in the performing arts tend to get the lead role in the play or why the student with the best voice will perform a solo more so than others. Why parents get upset when their little johnny gets cut from a team or doesn't make the honor roll I or somehow blames it on the school, I will never truly understand. I have worked on K Street for 15 years and prior to that 6 years on Wall Street. This mentality "every student deserves a trophy" is needs to come to an end. This generation of kids is sure in for a wake up call at the next level - and I mean post college. Wait till your boys and girls get to college and see how competitive it is inside and outside the classroom - mommy and daddy can no longer email a professor and bitch about a grade or complain to a coach.
