[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean do they even need to say anything? I went to a top ranked magnet and to this day still know who was a national merit finalist. It was also published in our local paper (which was a big county).

But I agree with you. I think a lot of times these admin who write this stuff have a chip on their shoulder. They play favorites. Same with what holidays they recognize. My school had Chinese New Year celebrations as well as Eid and Nowruz, but they definitely would never mention Christmas or Easter.[/quote]

The admins usually are parents to low-performing offsprings themselves. They harbor a deep resentment against the kids who are high achieving because mostly these kids are of East and South Asian origin.  You can guess the race of such admins. [/quote]

This is ridiculous.

Or the admins realize there are many children worthy of acknowledgment. They have to think of all the children and all the various forms of accomplishment present in a school (content mastery, athleticism, growth, work ethic, etc.).

They aren’t focused only on your child. That’s your job. If you want to praise your kid more, then do it. [/quote]

Our middle school of 1000 kids during a 30 minute graduation ceremony gave out under 10 awards and at least 3 of them were to some student who I had never heard achieved anything before or be in any honors class but had unnatural colored hair like blue and apparently was going through a transgender moment because the name they read wasn't their name from elementary school. These were all opinion related awards. Best all round student, Most enthusiastic student. It was a bit infuriating that in a class of 1000 they couldn't find other kids to round out the very few awards given out and gave her at least a third of them. [/quote]

Children of donors? [/quote]
