[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. DC went to Lake Anne ES and in 1st grade got various good citizenship awards. Got stickers too. Came home wearing them. Their newsletters had a bunch of names of kids receiving various awards. 2 per classrm for each category.

The other school we are in now, we dont get those. depends on the school i guess[/quote]

Good citizenship awards, yes.  Honesty awards, sure.  Academic achievement, nope.[/quote]

Thank you previous poster for acknowledging that this is in fact happening in FCPS ES.  Why was it so hard to believe?!?!  And no, not by a long shot, do I believe my child is the smartest.  I think he has a strong ability to focus, interest in learning and figuring out new things, good critical thinking and reasoning, and enjoys going above and beyond assignment requirements,  etc. and this translates into academic achievement for him. There are many areas my other children excel in that are not strengths of my DS's and I praise them all for their different strengths - that's what makes us all unique and special in our own ways and this is something that I want them to go through life remembering and not judging others for being different.  In my opinion all previous award areas mentioned (citizenship, honesty, etc.) are equally important and should be equally acknowledged and celebrated.  Not sure why such the big hang up over a child receiving an academic achievement award. It is given to a student in each class for each grading period.  [/quote]
