[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the awards-for-everyone is a TERRIBLE idea. This year, my daughter brought home an award that was completely bizarre and almost seemed to make fun of her (can't say here because it would definitely out me but think something like "most likely to dig in the dirt alone" - actually, it's worse than that but can't think of a good analogy at the moment). The other kids got things like: kindest, hardest worker, computer whiz, etc. Basically it was the teacher reinforcing that she is a strange kid. This whole year was a struggle socially and to cap it off with something that was basically making fun of her broke my heart. We are going to talk to the counselor about it in the fall in the context of trying to improve the social aspect next year.[/quote] Yes, and don't forget to mention that the awards thing SUCKS. Really, they should just do away with it.[/quote]
