Episode Description

A high school in Ohio just announced it will be removing the valedictorian and salutatorian awards from graduations as part of their overall effort to improve student wellness. Rather then use these labels, the school is moving to a more broader based award system, similar to colleges, that award multiple students, rather than 2, based off their GPA. This announcement received some strong reaction from both sides of the argument, including professional football player from Ohio Baker Mayfield who went to social media to proclaim "People are too soft?" Are we too soft? What do you think about this move? Are we being too soft in an effort to make our kids more mentally strong? Lets talk about it today on Episode 29, "Too Soft".
