Hey! I really like the way school gives special recognition to students whom do their best work. Back-in-the day, when I went to school...yes I did walk to school, and yes we did not have snow days so I have walked to school before when there was deep snow BUT I always had shoes! However, good grades were just something that was expected out of us. No special rewards or recognitions were given but you would get special recognition if you did not make good grades for my parents would have beat me to death probably! Aww! Fortunately, I don't know that for sure because they had put "the fear" in me! Seriously, school was just something that came pretty easily to my brothers and I.
However, I do understand that some children have more problems than do others so a little special recognition can do nothing but boost their egos, and encourage them to try harder. I know if I had gotten the opportunity to stand in front of my classmates and receive a reward, I would have tried harder to make straight A's rather than being satisfied with A's and B's. So I am very proud when my grandchildren do well and get special recognition for their achievements. Now we don't reward with money or gifts but we do let them know how proud we are of them, and what does Granny do... well, she makes a scrapbook page of course! Hurray! So let me show what I did this time but first..how 'bout a little School House Rock to listen to while you browse...just click the following link for one of my favorites

Did you notice how carefully I used interjections throughout my post today? I did, in fact learn something from those cute little jingles!
