Teacher gave out candy and certificates...

If you don't want your child to have the candy, then let the teacher know.

I for one wouldn't have been bothered by my son having a piece of candy each day.

It drives me nuts when parents try to change things like this for everyone instead of just having their child opt out.

I agree 100% -

I think awards are fine for perfect attendance and honor roll. Those kids should be rewarded. I also think its appropriate to give an award to most improved student. My kids often don't get grades good enough for an award, but that is life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Once again, Judi, I think you have a brilliant answer!!!

I agree completely.

Life isn't fair. Those that succeed at something SHOULD be honored. My kids will probably never get perfect attendance - I plan on doing WDW during school time . I never got it, either. I am not scarred!

Those that get on the honor roll - I think they need to be rewarded! Its hard work!
