A primary school in Auckland has canceled its school prizegiving over concerns of ranking students against each other.
The principal of Auckland's Silverdale Primary School on the Hibiscus Coast said in an October newsletter that the school would not follow through with its end-of-year prizegiving ceremony.
Principal Cameron Lockie wrote, "Rewards - like punishments - are unnecessary" when the community is already caring and where students have a "significant degree of choice about what, and how, they are learning". What do you think of this
Negatives: none of the great and hardworking students get that encouragement to think of bigger thingspositive: Nobody feels left out
