And theyâve already changed their mind?
They should prepare them for real life the proper way â give Honors Awards based on who contributes the most to school board campaign fundsâŚ
Post updated! Thanks!
How about âAverage Night?â Bring in everyone from the thick part of the bell curve. Oy.
Cue Diana Moon GlampersâŚ
All of the children are above average.
Isnât the âexclusivityâ (in the limited sense of yâknow, recognizing the people who rose above the pile) sort of the point of an âhonorâ?
Sure, if the event were called âMore or Less Adequate Nightâ, but you had to know a guy who knew a guy to get in, that would be too exclusive; but that isnât the matter at hand here.
From a recent poll of US citizens:

I, of course, really AM more intelligent than averageâŚ
The results of that poll demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger Effect quite nicely.
I imagine the real reason they wanted to cancel it is budgetary. Night time events are costly. So they tried to blame the community and pretend they were responding to âconcernsâ and it backfired.
Nah. I went to this middle school (and got to go to honorâs night-- yay me!)
Itâs one of the most affluent districts in the state. By high school, my classmates were getting new Lexus and BMWs for their first cars. I can pretty much guarantee that this had nothing to do with money, because East Greenwich bleeds money. Itâs kind of gross.
But, like I said in another post, the place is VERY affluent so I imagine all the doctors and lawyers and bankers canât even imagine that their kids might not be worthy of âhonors.â
So effing what? Public school is nothing more than an all day baby sitting service. There is no honor in being the best in supervised play.
