This happened to my son back in 1986. The principal held a school wide assembly to present awards to honor students. The result was an assembly hall filled with losers heckling the smart kids as they received their academic awards. My son won five or six awards and he told me he was embarrassed to walk up on stage after the first one. The parents were successful in getting the awards presented at an evening function the following year attended only by teachers, parents and honorees.
Stuff like this really pisses me off.
