Middle school is too early to be giving kids the message that they don't count and don't deserve.  Who is looking out for the really low achieving kids?  Half of them are probably hungry or disadvantaged in some other way.  And do the straight A kids really need the entire school staff looking out for them and feeding them?  [/quote]

They get a free education, free breakfast, free lunch. If they don't speak English, free ESOL classes.  Many kids go home with free coats and supplies from school drives and weekend backpacks jammed with food. How much more should we give?  Straight A kids get squat. Why not one freakin party to tell them their hard work is cool and they should be proud of themselves?  SO SO SO sick of this PC bullshit of making the world perfectly equal and fair for everyone. It has created the laziest Americans every produced. "Why work if my unemployment check and food stamps can get me by" Really why should they? Maybe some of those disadvantaged kids should have had parents that worked a little harder and didn't expect handouts.  Sounds harsh? Don't care. We coddle the "unfair" and ignore the "fair." We aren't teaching our kids to work their butts off. We are teaching them to complain, rationalize, and point fingers. Not to appreciate help. Demand it. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.
