Should perfect attendence awards be discontinued?

No?
- Kids that are stupid get awards too (like someone I know)
- Awards kids that try hard to be at school and really make an effort
Yes?
- Encourages kids to go to school even if they're sick
- Contagious illnesses
- Is unfair if you are seriously sick, can't go to school and your mom lectures you about not getting enough awards (like my mom)

Okay, these aren't excellent reasons, but what do you think? I know it's not a big issue (maybe not an issue at all), but I'd appreciate your opinions.

If you're curious, I don't think there should be perfect attendence awards because I always strive to get an award or two, but I have .. how do I put this.. Erm illnesses (asthma, exzema, more), sometimes I just can't make it to school. To see someone that fails all the time, but still comes to school every day and get that award gets on my nerves because I work REALLY REALLY hard (and my teachers say so too) in the time that I am at school. sad.gif Oh well, what do you think?

this one person at our school got perfect attendance from k-12.

anyway...i think awards should be something that a person has to work towards. not to people who have good immune systems,etc.

another award i think is dumb is this one at our school where if you're a 3rd+ generation living in the town, then you get an award. so basically, all the immigrants are exempt from that one.
oh and this one other award where it requires you to be a christian and to display "good hygiene".
...so messed up..
