[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1578618, member: 17843"] I know nothing about that, but from what you described, I think it’s fine that it was celebrated. I think the thing that makes people nauseous today is that things that were not once celebrated are now a big deal. It reminds me of a scene from a movie where a guy was puzzled at someone displaying a trophy for 9th place. It also seems like everything is given more equal attention too. Among its followers, first prize in the “draw the best potato” contest produces as much excitement as winning the Super Bowl. As for celebration, I’m all for recognition, but I could pass on public celebration. For example, I won teacher of the year about 12 years ago; somebody wins it every year. Personally, it would have meant much more to me if the administration had sat down with me for 15 minutes and explained why I was so awesome that I was teacher of the year. Instead, we had to waste an entire day going to a celebration function honoring the top teachers from that year. We got to hear some boring speeches, eat some so so food, and get our pictures taken for the paper. I think we got a certificate too. I could have passed on that. It really meant nothing to me.
