While I admit it is small minded and knee jerk to be nice about it, we have been going down the everybody gets a trophy road for so long that, at least imo, that we are due for some push back. This smells like a parent who has seen enough of everybody gets a trophy. I am not justifying or condemning it, but I get it. I agree with this. This trend of going out of the way to have these "moments" and awards for special needs kids is getting a little ridiculous IMO. Yet you feel the need to award non special needs kids?

Yet you feel the need to award non special needs kids? I don't feel the need to award anyone, but I especially don't understand awarding people things they can't achieve themselves just to make myself feel or look better because in the end, that's what 90% of this stuff is about anyway.

Just out of curiosity, what are the 10% that are not about that?

I think there are some people that really try to do something nice, but I think most of it is just posturing to make themselves look or feel better.

your positive outlook on the world is refreshing, instead of giving this kid any recognition the school should have called him and others upfront and informed the whole school why they aren't good enough, really set them straight and right the wrongs of our soft society, that'll show all those dastardly do gooders
