Principal Calls Off Honors Night

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/20/massachusetts-principal-calls-off-honor-night-because-it-could-be-devastating/



So I know it has been awhile since I posted.  However, school has been very busy and time consuming of late.  

Today I saw this article on FOX news saying that this principal has called off Honors Night because it will devastate those that have worked hard, but did not succeed.  However, those programs are there to motivate students to work hard so they could get recognized because many individuals are motivated by competition.  Furthermore, we use these rewards to show children that if they try hard they will get rewarded for their efforts.

In our society and with the way education is now, we need all the motivational tools in order to help children and teenagers succeed.  One of the motivational tools is competition.
