I would have died if I ever got an award like that.
I was a very sensitive child.
I don’t think it’s right.
I look at the example Christ set for us, and I don’t think he’d be giving out these kinds of awards.
“I look at the example Christ set for us, and I don’t think he’d be giving out these kinds of awards.”
Well I’d ask him, but I haven’t seen him around lately.
IME, these awards are silly and harmless—for example, I had a girl in one class who would wear different kinds of nail polish on each fingernail—she got the “Most Likely To Buy All The Nail Polish at Walmart” award, which tickled her pink. :-) Suffice to say, I don’t think she ever had to go to counseling for it. I remember once a fellow teacher had an absolutely horrible student and the teacher had a terrible time coming up with an ‘award’ for the student—the kid was always getting into everything despite directions, and finally the teacher’s award was “Most Persistent and Curious” for the kid. :-)
These teacher/s in the story crossed a line, agreed, but to condemn each and every teacher for each and every silly award is going way overboard.
