<p>The parents should be thankful. I went to my daughter’s middle school honors night and it was long and hot and boring, and my daughter was actually getting a fair number of awards. Anyone who got any award, even just finishing the AR point goal, was invited, the auditorium was full, and it took forever. It wasn’t well organized and the kids just wanted to get out of there so they could go to the 8th grade dance - where all the kids who hadn’t earned awards were already partying because the ceremony ran over by at least an hour!</p>
<p>I just received the notice for my D’s award ceremony (and assume will receive one for the other D), but she doesn’t know what it’s for and doesn’t want to go.</p>
