Helping him think that through would help him to succeed. And teaching him to think it through would help after class too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684639278116003661.post-47364105203582914652008-11-25T15:06:00.000-05:002008-11-25T15:06:00.000-05:00if he doesn't know why he was awarded then, he may...<I>if he doesn't know why he was awarded then, he may have a hard time with reaching that goal again</I><BR/><BR/>This is a good point.

It's possible that he just doesn't remember, but if he doesn't know why he was awarded then, he may have a hard time with reaching that goal again. It is nice to be recognized for good grades and accomplishments, but it is equally important that those who are falling behind are helped. If this student is just wanting to get a laminated piece of paper presented to him in front of his classmates, then he's in it for the wrong reasons. Children really need to be guided...(dragged)into the concept of having a good work ethic and I think this is directly related to a parents example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684639278116003661.post-19334053596767731222008-11-24T17:26:00.000-05:002008-11-24T17:26:00.000-05:00The reason he got awards is because he had to have...The reason he got awards is because he had to have done something in class like pay atention or turn in all his work. Doing good in school determines if you will be successful in life if he wants to mess around in class let him it will only mess up his future. I believe if he works hard the rest of the year and the years to come he will be a totally different person. I hope he gets encouragement from his parents because that will help him alot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
