SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

no....i'd rather my school use recycled paper to create special recognitions than absorb whatever it is the less interested (probably,less involved too) complain about.
bad energy has no place in school. ;)

In our school, they give "rewards" for the reading program they have. In kindergarten it is relatively easy to reach the level required for a small reward. As they increase in reading level and maturity, the rewards get harder and harder to achieve. DD had to read 80 books in the fourth grade in order to reach the award. She took quizzes regurlarly to determine what grade level she needed to be reading at. She was not allowed to read any books easier than the level she attained and yet she reached the goal relatively easily and if she was doing it for the "prize" as you claim she was doing, she would have stopped once she got to that goal. At that point, they have hopefully developed a love of reading and know how to do it well. If the level remained the same from K-4 to achieve the award, then your argument would have a little more clout with me. The teachers make them work and work hard to get the award so, IMO, they earned the right to be awarded.
DD and 16 of her classmates earned a limo-ride and movie party in the last week of school last year. The whole school benefitted from it because a company gave a certain amount of money based on how many kids reached the goal. They used that money to buy more books for the library which more kids could use to enhance their reading. I was supposed to tell my daughter that even though she did all the work, the school would be the only one to receive benefit from it? Not gonna happen. The look on her face when the limo came to pick them up at school is priceless to me and there is no way I would have deprived her of that.
