Which statement best paraphrases the controlling idea in this introduction paragraph?

I'll never forget the time I threw up on the morning school bus. I was too sick to go to school, but in third grade I had never yet missed a single school day. When my dad picked me up that morning, I cried - not because I was sick, but because I wouldn't get a perfect
attendance award that year. Now I know that perfect attendance is not a skill but a coincidence. I think schools are wrong for giving out
awards for this feat.

A. Schools should stop rewarding students for having perfect attendance

B. Some schools reward students who do not miss a day of school all year.

C. Parents should know when their kids are sick to keep them from school.

D. Being sick at school can be unpleasantly memorable experience.
