[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call BS. Which FCPS elementary school awards an "academic achievement award" to K and 1st graders at an assembly?[/quote]

Zero, UNLESS it is something every kid gets.  (We do have awards at our school from the specials - music, art, etc. but no kid would ever get the award more than once.)[/quote]

Not sure if your child's school isn't doing it or you child just hasn't received it but it's 100% true.  I think it's great to recognize all talent - music, art, etc.  Why is it any different to recognize academic achievement?  Maybe a child struggles in the arts but excels in academics, Why would it be better to recognize the specials and not academics?  [/quote]

Which school name?  I'll independently verify it.  (As you can tell, I don't believe you).  The only way this is true in FCPS is if EVERY child is receiving awards of some kind.[/quote]

Will not give the school name as it makes this forum less anonymous but why so hard to believe?  Do you also have your doubts about students getting awards for specials? Are you suggesting every student in the class should get some kind of  award? Maybe a school participation award would be appropriate?  This attitude, IMO, is what contributes to a child's sense of entitlement. [/quote]

I am telling you that I do not believe that FCPS has a school in its system that awards a single kid in elementary school classes an academic achievement award.  I am not suggesting that every kid should get the award.  I'm suggesting that IF your kid got such an award, there is no way he was the only kid who did so, they all did, because the school isn't singling a kid out in kindergarten, first or second grade for being "THE" smartest in the class.  Oh - sorry - except in your mind. :roll: [/quote]
