these kinds of awards often ignore the more introverted but outstanding scholar, may be given to teachers pets, and think of this, once certain kids are “recognized” as freshman, it can be demoralizing to other who think, teacher’s pets, why bother, and I can guarantee that does happen

and teachers, no matter how they try, are human, and once they see certain kids “win” or being picked, will focus on those kids are leaders and perhaps not draw from others…seen it happen

award nights are silly, we had it in 8th grade, and my D, both won lots, so many did not…but by that time, nobody cared, they were out of there
