Weekly Awards upsetting my son

[Ahmawa]

So each week the teachers award a certificate for the best in literacy, numeracy and general behaviour / helpfulness.

Now my son is competitive and he's upset that he hasn't received an award and it's upsetting him. I have not asked how the teachers decide who gets the award but I did ask the teacher how my son was doing and she mentioned he is one of the top 3 or 4 in the class.

How do I deal with this? Do I approach the teachers or tell my son these awards don't really matter.

Everytime I ask the teachers what more can I do, they say just keep on doing his homework which we do.

Tbh at dc school it's so pointless and works its way round the class, that i can hardly be bothered to read the reasons.
It certainly cannot be motivating.

I work in a school and know that the teachers have to award these things to every child each term so...It's kind of fake but they all love having their turn. Your son will get a turn too. I just say to my son " Miss S can't give it to you every week. Just keep being good and it'll be your turn soon. "
