I'm all for not really putting kids down and I like being inclusive but it is going a little too far. In the school board I grew up in they put in a rule a couple years ago that says you can't make kids fail a grade. They get pushed ahead even if they're not ready and can't do the material for the previous one.
Then there's also sports stuff. This past summer I went to visit my niece and nephew at my brother's place. My nephew came up and showed me a soccer trophy that he got. He was beeming. I looked at it and realized it's was one of those "Everyone gets a trophy for participating" trophies. Then talking to my brother later I found out that he hadn't even gone to the tournament because he'd been sick. So he get a nice trophy for not even being there.
Personally I think it's getting out of hand.:shrug:
