Stop these policies of removing the fruits of competition in the schools. This board is undermining scholastic excellence in favor of under-performers at every turn.

These recognitions provide students with a goal to strive for. By removing these designations, students become equal and will loose that drive for excellence.

While I do believe that there are unhealthy levels of stress and competition in high school and I think we should be cognizant of that, I also believe that the people that achieve these levels of success should be recognized.

That is a earned position. We need to let students understand there are rewards for great efforts and it should not be taken away because other students do not strive for the ame goals. Students do not gain real life insights for after high school by coddling. Students should understand it is ok to be second first.
