Que 1. What kind of prizes do students get?
Apart from topping the exams there are also prizes for competitions like debate, quiz, science fair, dance, and sports competitions.
Que 2. Should students get the same prize in sports and academics?
No, they shouldn’t because sport and academics are 2 different aspects.
Que 3. Why should people be awarded?
People should be awarded to motivate them to do more and also to show recognition of their effort at something. A person’s best stop when he/she and a person best continues as long as he/she continues. Therefore being awarded makes a person want to give his/her best even making it better than the last.
Que 4. Are awards always good for the winners?
Awarded are good for winners to motivate them as I said earlier but some people have superiority complex which makes them feel they are better than others but keep forgetting that the sky is wide enough for everyone to fly and that those they think are better than can certainly do better if they will to do it.
