Mother Rejects Son's Perfect Attendance Award ft. DavidSoComedy

[@jellybeanguineapig]

idk what schools y'all went to saying "attendance is a basic principle you shouldn't be rewarded for it" that's true but when you go to a broke inner city school where no one wants to be there, awarding perfect attendance with £30 and doughnuts is quite important to get those fuckers to stay in school and actually realise it is important

[@leapatel577]

luliloola you get 30 dollars and a doughnut! Bruh I got a certificate

[@ariindigo6171]

luliloola I got nothing...

[@jellybeanguineapig]

I only ever got the doughnuts once sadly XD

[@justabunchofnumbers9611]

The person who got perfect attendence who was older than the rest of the kids gets a bike and the rest get a mention during a school assembly.

[@joseescobedo7899]

luliloola lol school should learn form yours

When the gender reveal joke is later than the late gender reveal

[@sinn00h]

JustIncognito these vids are pre recorded so when this was recorded no one knew if it was a guy or girl

[@paperboy725]

wow thanks man i didn't know

[@user-xp5gw5pn4c]

Caboose wrong, everyone knew it was a boy more a while

[@sinn00h]

W!zard yes i know that they werent good at hiding it at all and that most people knew

[@deathringer2389]

[@JailanSimon]

I remember skipping school on fridays so I could have a long weekend 😂

[@kiko714]

Jailan Simon I can't skip at my school or my school calls home and when no one answers they call the cops because I didn't attend school. Issa bunch of bullshit

[@mylienichols9359]

Play , playing with fire at my funeral That's fucked up

[@hxllzcxrtxz7883]

Play , playing with fire at my funeral they did that at my school but the cops cant do anything but bring you to school at least in my state so if you don't run into them you can keep skipping

[@fleccs808]

Play , playing with fire at my funeral when you have kids and they start skipping school ur gonna be like "call me!" lol

[@ineedsleep9019]

Jailan Simon I remember throwing up in class and when my teacher told me I should go home I said no I feel great now I'm staying. I was dedicated as fuck.

[@woahmcknly8550]

Just because they recognize one students hard work doesn't mean they're shaming the others wtf 😂

[@staind687]

I got the "will you go out with me?" award back in middle school. Definitely the most embarrassing moment of my life. How the fuck is that even an award? Haha

[@cherryngs]

The perfect attendance award was the only award I could get in school :P

[@y.p.4490]

Cookie Cat lol i got 1 for encouragement it was the lamest shit everrr😂😂

[@misteryace21]

Cookie Cat same, but I didn't care cuz we only got a certificate

[@jupiknight]

I kind of feel for this one. In elementary school, I was sick frequently, and missed a lot of days. One year, I remember being one of the only students that didn't get the attendance reward, and it didn't feel good. It did make me feel like I was being treated different for having a shitty immune system, and I did understand that. That said, ANY of those awards could make kids feel shitty if you think about it. If some kid got none of them, and compared themselves to the kids that did, their self-esteem could take quite a blow. It sucks. Being rewarded is always great, but getting nothing is always shit.

[@aidanreed5831]

*Perfect Attendance ain't shit! It takes me to get straight A's for a whole year, cure the common cold, and literally find out a way to travel to mars for my mom to notice my achievements!* 😤

[@lilayxd]

I grew up as a child with a lot of health problems so I was in and out the hospital a lot due to surgeries and treatments. I never in my life got a perfect attendance award, but most of my friends in school did. I always envied my friends and thought it was all my fault that I couldn't be healthy and get that award for my mom and dad. I never thought someone denying the award would make me feel supported. I'm not someone who would complain or make such a scene about these kind of things, but I appreciate this woman for doing what she did.

[@Pumpkin0_0]

Whoever got that award could go on a fun trip? No wonder the mother didn't like it. Many kids have no control over getting sick or having family emergencies, and then they see another kid who had no issues throughout school going on a trip. Many of those kids had no choice and shouldn't be "punished" for it. That award makes no sense.

[@AW33406]

Eika Pumpkin They aren't Punished they perfect attendance Kid deserves his Award

[@Pumpkin0_0]

I didn't know that something so simple is so hard to understand. If you break a leg and end up in the hospital, how is it your fault that you can't go to school the next day or that same day? You, who got your leg broken, could be a hair away from getting the award and going on a fun trip. Instead, another kid gets to go just because *nothing happened* to them. This is rewarding luck, which makes no sense at all, but apparently it's automatically YOUR fault that your leg broke, so no fun trip for you. I guess you should've chosen the WEEKEND to break your leg. If the kid who got the award had gotten sick and missed school, no award for that kid either. What kind of logic is that? This is a lottery award and you really believe the kid DESERVES it? Wtf. The award shouldn't even exist because it makes no sense. It's based on luck.

[@smallfry7122]

some of these people are legitimately so retarded it hurts my brain.

[@cbock1836]

Eika Pumpkin lol I'm pretty sure schools excuse absences if you come back with a doctor's note or something like that

[@retcon1439]

Eika Pumpkin I mean some kids like myself skipped classes. But, then again in my school it counts as perfect attendance if you don't miss any classes unless those classes you missed are excused

[@cuteycat2214]

When I was in third grade they had a pizza party for people who could do all the multiplication tables in 10 minutes. I had to watch all my friends eat pizza without me which kinda sucked lol

[@dr.sn1p3zz29]

"You have no childhood"😂😂😂

[@SquishyPixelz]

One year in high school I had to take every Wednesday off school for serious eye appointments and later surgery. This was beyond my control. Other than that I was in everyday. It's unfair that people get rewarded for not having problems getting into school. There are peopIe who ho to school everyday and doesn't do the work. Meanwhile myself and other people are working hard to stay on top of everything even though we had no control of the situation. I missed out on a gift card for Amazon and a breakfast because I was sitting in a hospital.

[@mywallet7367]

Squishy Pixelz that gift card and breakfast got you down? Lol

[@420memer3]

I feel ya.. I try to not let it get me down anymore, when I realized how frickin' stupid it all was. (Still lowkey feel upset about it tho..)

[@Motherwaffle]

Boi, the awards are lame as fuck y'all so sensitive, they aren't shaming you for missing school, the rewards aren't worth having perfect attendance for

[@ROBERT-ic8ed]

You missing the point people... not really about the rewards.... it's the fact that she did not want to miss school but had to

[@cbock1836]

ROBERT FERNANDEZ lol they excuse absences with a doctor's note don't they so wouldn't you just have to bring in a doctor's note to have it excused allowing you to still get that perfect attendance award

[@Thedawgfather432hz]

I got an "award" for being the most late to school in my year :^/

[@RenaTruong]

Krystian Lukaszewski honestly same

[@rogerelzenga4465]

i was absent most of the time.... i asked the teacher what would happen.... 1 hour detention.... and what if i dont go to detention... it doubles ... and what if i didnt went to that one? double... and what if i dont go to that one, it doubles again .... i looked at him and asked him if he understood how flawed it was .... Then he told me that he had the power to hold me, i looked at him and said i would sue him for detaining me unlawfully ... and since my parents are paying for school they have NO RIGHT at all to force you to do anything .... they are a payed service .......

[@susanye9743]

When I graduated elementary school, I had a perfect attendance award for 7 whole years. I worked hard to get this award. I had probably no other talents which means I wouldn't get any other award other than my diploma, which everyone gets. I got the perfect attendance award while other people got different awards for what they had done. I don't think this award singled out any others. It's like saying that the valedictorian award, where the student worked HARD to earn their best average.....all awards are important, no matter what it is.

[@susanye9743]

Kiran Bhamra ok, that's true but does that mean it's unfair if someone's gets valedictorian if other people had trouble learning? It's a similar comparison. U can't control how your mind works or acts if you are mentally troubled

[@M3M33thousand]

Jhope_ oppa That's pretty sad cuz the only thing you were good at was showing up lol

[@susanye9743]

CLUELESS lmao it's a skill👌🏻👌🏻

[@madisenkerr6185]

I don't know about everybody else but the policy at every school I've been to is that as long as it is an Excused Absence (sick for up to 3 days without a doctors note, a doctor/dentist appointment, a family emergency where you call in to the school or have documented proof, and/or a field trip/competition day) it doesn't count against your attendance record. I had perfect attendance from kindergarten until I graduated and I definitely had sick days and plenty of all day competitions where I was off campus for various things. Most of the time we only got a nice sheet of paper that said "Perfect Attendance Award" yada yada (though I did get a free T-shirt a couple times), but I always saw the award as something that signified my commitment to going to school. I woke myself up every morning at 5 am to catch a bus at 6 so I could be to school at 7. My parents had to focus on being to work early in the mornings too so honestly the only person who held me accountable for going to school was myself. It might seem pretty garbage to other people but I always enjoyed getting my perfect attendance awards. Plus none of the other kids even cared that I got my little ''special" sheet of paper because it didn't make anyone else feel any better or worse about themselves. If anything people would just be a little shocked that I even cared enough to show up everyday when I could so easily skip and make-up anything later.

[@emg8389]

Madisen Kerr shit I wish my school was like that. most schools in my state don't count emergencies/illnesses or family members passing on our record but we still wouldn't get an award bc technically we weren't at the school everyday which is fucking stupid.

[@theshoeshangingonthattreei3689]

I live in England. We get the 100% attendance awards. If you are sick and you give in a note within 2 days you may be excused ( for an appropriate reason). We know perfect attendance isn't all that. There was much more awards that everyone wanted. Like the head teacher Award. I stopped caring after year 3 and I had impeccable behaviour and attendance

[@epiquewenqa]

I agree with this mother. Just look at the working world. When we're sick, instead of resting, we need to go to the hospital, wait for hourssss when we could have had rest and taken meds from home, just to get a silly medical note from the doctor to give to our employers the next day. It's ridiculous. And people look down on those who are sick. Get out of here. We are human beings. Some people are prone to sickness and some are not. I don't get sick at all, but I do get tired. When I am tired and my head feels heavy, i take medical leave. And my boss is nice enough because our organisation doesn't need to show MC note when we're sick. So we actually get to fucking rest. People need to be more humane minded. We're not robots. People get sick, people get tired. Productivity will still happen. At least you don't have disgruntled, tired, sick workers.

[@earthcolours_]

Perfect Attendance Award Was The *Participation Award* Lol. Get rid of it, it makes the real awards look like it's not as great of an accomplishment

[@NikkitaPece]

That Brown Guy well it's nice to have it in high school. My high school has never really given out awards.

[@Joela393]

No one thinks that the real awards aren't that great of an accomplishment lmao, what the fuck. Everyone knows that getting an award for having straight A's is a bigger accomplishment than having perfect attendance.

[@earthcolours_]

No, I mean it diminishes the point in getting an award

[@earthcolours_]

What high school do you go to, like most do give out awards for hardly anything

[@fazesimp9821]

That Brown Guy yup i agree with you then it makes the person who gets it is embarrassed

[@SJSwagger1]

Davids just made that he didn't get the award. He really out here acting salty

I truly think Joe and I were the same type of kid during primary education 😂😂

[@MahnicaxMonicaxoxo]

David: "They do." 😂

[@Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

Perfect attendance is pretty low in school awards, but it's a step above participation awards. Participation is trying and not succeeding. You can try to be there everyday, but if you miss just one day, you don't get it.

[@MikeAngelo1990]

"Pneumonia fuck" that killed my 😂😂😭🤣

[@paperboy9310]

The 100% attendance award is the same as a participation trophy. You literally just have to show up to receive it.

[@liizzset]

Hey! I got a perfect attendance award in high school. Three years running. No field trip. No free pizza. No free ice-cream. Just a printed paper with my name on it plus a golden sticker. Took a picture with teacher or principal. It depends, Not sure if that is changed now. My grades were average yet showed up every day.

[@syannthomas2388]

We had WATCH ceremonies (W=words, A=actions, T=thoughts, C=characteristics, H=habits). This is the ultimate self esteem dropper. They would explain how good this person is and what makes them a good WATCH person, and I thought they were describing me but its someone else. But I know I'm a good person so idc. =)

[@TheCornDavis]

All I got was "Good Citizenship" awards EVERY YEAR!!! Like after a while I was like "Is this just to make me feel better or am I actually being recognized for being a decent person? lol

[@alyssatupas3735]

HOMELESS JOE. I CAN'T LOL

[@LadyGaDieVa]

My older sister missed one day of school...and it was the day she was supposed to win the award at the end-of-the-year assembly. We were at our dad's MBA graduation. When she tried to get the award the following Monday, they wouldn't give it to her.

[@Areisix]

I thought they did the perfect attendance award to get kids to come to school more

[@ZadnoleyaEdits]

I have two chronic illnesses and missed a shit ton of school. I never gave af about perfect attendance because I was more concerned about not dying lol.

[@SeahorseTrash]

My old math teacher would put a breakdown of the test grades on the board with the number of A's, B's, etc., and she announced the A's and gave them candy. Since I suck ass at math I didn't start getting any A's until second semester but it was so lit

[@johnathangrey3463]

The only real award worth celebrating is the medal of honor.

[@NikoNebi]

Why don't we look at it this way? A perfect attendance award is a teacher's way of thanking students who were in class everyday so that they didn't have to take the extra time to do make up work packets and schedule make up lessons/tests. I really don't think it's a statement against the kids who don't have perfect attendance or real praise for those who do. I don't think any kid goes through the school year with the end goal being a perfect attendance award.

[@MommaMiri]

My elementary school did the sundaes for multiplications tables. I always got the most toppings...with a couple other students. It was freaking awesome!

[@danimunoz7863]

I love joe😍😍😍😍😍

[@brookedorcheff8576]

Guys, I'm in Junior High (7 and 8 grade) and they do the awards but literally every teacher gave out an award and I didn't get any awards along with a few other people so we were all just sitting at the award ceremony feeling terrible about ourselves meanwhile some people got like 5 awards. (this was last year when I was in 7th grade.) Can't wait to feel terrible about myself during that ceremony on the last day of school again. XD

[@dominiccampbell181]

The people who made efforts in school didn't give a fuck about the Attendance Award.

[@theonlykingA]

I we're talking about kids but damn, the award is literally given for showing up. I personally would teach my kid to not give a shit about meaningless awards and focus on actual goals.

[@alexiscormier4059]

There was a Chinese American girl at my school and she got perfect attendance for all 12 years. Her parents wouldn't let her miss for anything

[@mase5995]

I got an award for "asking a lot of question" but my teacher made a unique reward for everyone. But I remember that in elementary school when it was near the end of the year, the kids who were on gold honor roll and silver honor roll would get to go to a local chinese buffet for lunch and my 4th grade year I was on silver honor roll but I wasn't invited because they changed it to where you have to have more than one silver honor roll in order to go

[@dianamartinez633]

In my school they went all out for the students of the month. Each class had one and they had a huge pizza party for all the students of the month. And each month was a different theme! I was student of the month every month ! 😁 We also had the ice cream topping thing David said. AND they organized a field trip for the students did really good on the end of year exams. This was all in elementary school.

[@lyricsbythree]

I wouldn't even reject any award I get because all I've gotten is the participation award lol

[@ChibiChick25]

This mom is way too sensitive. There are other awards besides the attendance award that her sick kid could get. She is just teaching her children that if things aren't "fair", play the victim.

[@ritapita8150]

From 1st to 5th or 6th grade, my school did AR (accelerated reading) points. The more books you read and passed quizzes paired with them you would get rewarded at the end of the year. We would get certificates, pizza parties, and a trip to McDonald's (meals paid for by the school) in a limo. Shit was lit!!!!

[@bigeaststarlight6915]

(Talking about the American school system, I don't know about the system in the U.K.) Schools get money from having their students attend so they want their students to have perfect attendance. I think my high school got around $80 a day per student for their attendance. If my high school hadn't been so greedy about getting that attendance money then I could have graduated a semester early.

Wym gender confirmed naw They had the baby shower 🔵👪

[@miaaimann6189]

[@TheThunderkatana]

It should be an award because I guarantee you a kid who doesn't have a perfect attendance faked a sickness before. It should be an award to make it an effort to go to school every day without skipping a beat

[@ValerieAbena]

Some industries don’t care if you get sick. Either because they don’t want to pay someone who hardly comes in or they want you to be in so you make the company money. I think the rationale behind rewarding 100% attendance in schools is that it prepares children for the working world.

[@Zobbtuna]

Perfect attendance always got me down when I was a kid in elementary. To me it just mean I went to school everyday and still couldn't learn as fast as kids that took sick days all the time. I struggled to learn how to read, to write, and to divide. Always at school but couldn't learn for shit. Then I got into college and graduated 4.0 gpa when a lot of it was basically you teaching yourself with a book.

[@princemokus4682]

We had Perfect Attendance, Student of the Month, and A or B Honor Roll every semester in highschool. 😂 People that got any of those got to go on a trip or pizza party.

[@deirdre73202]

[@thatthingyouseeatthecorner5249]

The participation award is just a sheet of paper (right?). How is that shaming? Those kids don't give a damn. Edit: they get a field trip for perfect attendance? Why didn't they do that for my school. Dammit.

[@Andre-qg9cc]

As long as you have an note from your parents or have your parents call the school the school wouldn't count the days you miss

[@Rayqauzay]

We did this in my secondary school. I don't see the problem with people getting the award, if you were ill oh well you don't get it. Its a reward for someone else, everyone who doesn't get it is not being punished or affected in some negative way.

[@alana105]

I remember in elementary school we had to vote for "the most studious" and we voted for the guy who was athletic. We thought it meant stud. Yes, we were all stupid. LOL. Our teacher then told us the meaning and we chose someone else. There should have been no winners that day.

[@pandahuezo-menjivar9154]

Perfect attendance is supposed to help prevent truancy, not shame kids who get sick. The system should be changed so that kids with excused absences can still be considered.

[@TheDanieRoxx]

Lowkey annoyed because David kept announcing that no one cared about the perfect attendance kid but I've had perfect attendance for 6 years, and I'm gonna continue that because I care :]

[@Merilirem]

I hope her son wasn't expecting or excited about getting said award. If he wanted it then she just ruined a part of his childhood. Not having awards is fine, but not getting awards you won is potentially scarring.
