Dad Claims That Perfect Attendance Awards Are Bogus, ‘How Are We Still Doing These?’

With the flu and covid still in the air, parents have been doing their best to navigate school events without them or their children contracting anything.

Yet, for some reason, perfect attendance awards are still relevant. A TikTok dad posted a now-viral video explaining why he believes perfect attendance awards should be taken out of the education system.

Out of Their Control

The point that @speechprof makes is that it seems wrong to reward a child for coming to every day of school and punishing another child for missing a day, when it is completely out of their control whether or not they get sick.

He talks about how he was at an awards ceremony where his son won a reading award.
