When did they start with all of these awards? My nephew came stay with me yesterday after his younger brother's award ceremony. Today was his last day of school, they were having his grade's award ceremony and then they were getting out a half of day. Then I heard about other schools have award ceremonies. Awards for what?
I remember in HS there was an academic award ceremony, but it wasn't during the day and it was only for people who got certain awards. Then there was the annual sports award ceremony, but it wasn't this big to do. You had to wear dress clothes, it was in the evening after school. You went, someone gave a small speech, they called each person who won some award, you go get your award, everyone claps, it ended. I'd say maybe 10% of the student body got an award.. And thats rounding up.

Yep, that’s how it used to be. These days our society is into their “feelings” way too much. Little league baseball, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place got trophies, period. Made me want to try harder. No incentive now with everyone getting a trophy/award…
