The fact that you think the ideology behind the plastic trophy is so dangerous is the funny part. Be a better teacher and hold the bball kid accountable. Dont blame it on something that happened in elementary school.
I said it was one of many examples and many reasons. I also held the kid accountable. I didn't change his grade and I pointed out his faults in basketball. Not sure where you saw I didn't. I think you are getting way too hung up on "the plastic trophy" and I am fine with little kids (below 4th grade) getting them. It is the entitled philosophy that everyone should get an A for showing up that is a problem.
I won't argue anymore. You obviously don't agree with my stance and I am trying to tell you what I see. If you are teaching/coaching both junior high and high school kids everyday while seeing something different, that's fine. Enjoy your evening. (No sarcasm).
