[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem for children that are rewarded for everything (participation trophies in sports to As on report cards) is they grow up into adults int he work place that want "attaboys" at work for showing up (maybe on time) and for doing their job. That is not how the world works, you get bonuses and kuddos for a job well done or going above and beyond, not for doing your job. [/quote] Getting an A, at some schools IS going above and beyond. “Doing their job” would be to simply pass the class with a high enough grade to receive credit and move on. [/quote]
