I have noticed that it doesn't have much effect after a while. The students are like, meh, someone gets an award every week, and eventually it rolls around to my turn unless I really screw up.
The effect on parents seems bigger, which is a good thing, I suppose, since parents then give their kids to some positive feedback.

- thrwaway69 7y agoFor monthly things, it does have some effect. I participated in some of them before due to the visibility. People from your class may know you but others, not so much. In the absence of time and other signals, management would often pick someone who is highlighted to represent something. A lot of big people at those events generally don't mind giving contact information to young kids asking for help as much. From there, you can effectively build a nice list of people that you can leverage in future for your resume or career. It's like free consultation you otherwise would need to buy later.
- geomark 7y agoInteresting idea. I have a very confident and talkative kid who is not shy about approaching adults. I bet he could collect lots of contact information.
