In elementary school when the awards sure seemed to be about esteem - my son never got a math award despite being three years ahead of the curriculum - awards were considered completely meaningless. Should my son who went from a first grade reading level to a sixth grade level practically overnight in second grade have gotten an award - I don’t think so - that was just his learning style. In fact, the more I read this thread the more anti-award I am becoming!
