[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it is not a good thing to award children for doing nothing. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2015/03/09/parents-stop-overvaluing-your-kid-you-may-create-a-future-narcissist-study-says/[/quote] It's a participation trophy, not a nothing trophy.[/quote] You shouldn't get a trophy because your parents paid a fee and forced you into the car and said you have to stay for an hour and do whatever the activity is. And if you go enthusiastically, then your reward is the joy of the class and the knowledge you get from it. Your reward is being proud of yourself. Your reward is the confidence you gained from struggling and persevering and conquering a new skill. [/quote] And the reward for winning is winning, so you shouldn't get a trophy for winning. Right?[/quote] Dude, I'd be totally fine with that. I'd be cool with only Olympians getting trophies. [/quote]
