They're pretty cutthroat competitions, honestly.<br /><br />I do dislike that whole "award everyone so they keep their self-esteem intact" approach (which does seem to show up in middle school a LOT). I mean, how is it good for your self esteem in any REAL way to be awarded for breathing? You haven't EARNED the kudos. It's like I tell my students and is posted on my wall: You won't be rewarded for having brains, but for using them.Teacher Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215145025563985398noreply@blogger.com
