8-Year-Old Gets ‘Catastrophe Award’ for Most Homework Excuses
The mother of an 8-year-old Arizona girl who was presented with a“Catastrophe Award” for apparently having the most excuses for not having homework believes her child was humiliated by her teacher.
Christina Valdez said her daughter, Cassandra Garcia, came home one day from class at Desert Springs Academy in Tucson, Ariz., with the paper award.
The document, which looks like a colorful card, contained the following message: “You’re Tops! Catastrophe Award. Awarded to Cassandra Garcia. For Most Excuses for Not Having Homework.”
The teacher signed the card “Ms. Plowman,” added the date – May 18, 2012 – and even included a smiley face.
The teacher announced the award in front of the entire class, and the other students laughed at her daughter, Valdez said in a Thursday interview with ABC TV affiliate KGUN-TV in Tucson.

She will have a great career in the Obama administration.
Awesome, serves her right.
I'm glad I didn't get one when I was young! I could be one of a good contender for this category. LOL

You think maybe the Mother should be looking into why her daughter have so many excuses for not turning in homework?
