You know, back to the original topic for a moment. It is sad if the kid really did quit b/c he was "humiliated" by not winning the award. The lawsuit is obviously just as sad. Instead of telling his kid that hard work always brings rewards, he should have told him that hard work is its own reward. It's a cliche, but very often true. Or he could've used my most recent email tagline:
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
--Aristotle
