There's Gold in Them Thar Hills!

Once again Erin and Cameron earned 'gold cards' for this first quarter of the 2006-07 school year. All the gold card kids will be given these cards at a special assembly next week, along with the usual coupons for free baby pizzas or kids' meals, etc.
Naturally, both kids are pleased as punch. Of course, in Cameron's case, he has never received anything else, so it's taken as more of a 'given.'
At both of their parent-teacher conferences they were highly praised as being well-mannered and hardworking students. Doing some math (220 school days x 7 hrs / 12 waking hours per day), I see that this correlates to approximately 128.3 days of good behavior in a year. Kindly adding a generous helping of the time at home they display these same sterling qualities, one comes up with a grand total of 129.5 days of such behavior in a year for Cameron, and 135.75 days for Erin.
Finally, this award serves to engorge Cameron's already ballooning ego, and when he finds out that he will be bused to another school next year every week to participate in 'gifted math' he will be completely insufferable. (Right now he is just a plain variety of 'insufferable.')
As an aside, Makenna was also praised as being a wonderful student, but they don't give out gold cards until 1st grade.
