its called incentive - a kid has to want to do better

this trophies to everyone BS raises kids to believe that no matter how poorly or how majestically they perform the level of reward will be equal.

like it or not, this BS sticks with little kids until they become adults.

its pathetic
So all the kids get the same trophy?

I dont mind seeing kids get rewarded for participating. I dont see equal reward accross the board. Sorry kid, maybe a spelling bee is for you
