Bongani firmly believes the world isn't as soft and fair as how the prize giving is to the children. Should these kids not be taught reality early in life?
Bongani feels schools need to teach children from an early age that the world is not a place where everyone is rewarded for mediocrity.
Would you rather have all the kids get prizes, or do you believe kids should be taught early that only a few people succeed in life and it takes hard work?
