Prizegiving

Do you think that prizegiving in schools are good, or do they just bring to the forefront insecurities and feelings of worthlessness? Do you think that they should be stopped in schools as they only celebrate certain talents.

Everyone is special, that is all.

I think Homer Simpson said it best: "Do I have to attend? No? Knock yourself out!"

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

No, I think this whole thing about doing away with competitiveness in school sports etc is ridiculous. It's one of the few real examples of 'PC gone mad', imo.
