Absolutely, they can be nominated in all categories. I just made a specific international category to pick the best outside of the US. But all categories are open to all nations.
ReplyDeleteI know homeschooling in the US is a whole different thing, but the whole point for me is to be against school and all it represents, including the award system it trains people to accept.
ReplyDeleteHi Leo,
ReplyDeleteI think competition and award systems are only coercive if people experience these as such. Sometimes they are just fun, and failure can be experienced very positively.
I never, ever, ever once won in any sporting competition within my family. They were all SO much better than I was. But I never resented it. I loved the fact that they were good and admired their skills and freely chose to compete with them.
Given that these awards are pretty much voluntary, and I imagine that if you felt that you didn't want to compete, you could get your nomination withdrawn, I think that they could be just a bit of fun and could be very useful in pointing the way to other interesting reads.
Hi Carlotta,
ReplyDeleteYou make sense. I guess I am too damaged to appreciatte those things healthily anymore.
