It's the same BS in kid's sports! Everyone gets a trophy! We don't keep score! Protect the children from any disapointment that might teach them a valuably lession that might help them to cope with life as you grow older. My god what are we doing? What are we teaching them? I played a lot of sports in school. If I didn't succeed one year I worked harder the next to achive the goal. And who set those goals? The people who raised the bar the year before. I think a little competion and rough housing is an important part of a child's development. Life is full of big and little rough spots and if you don't learn to deal with them when you young your going to become an ill prepared adult And PLEASE don't even get me started on some of the parents involved in some of these sports activities! MY BOBBY'S GOT GRASS STAINS ON HIS TOMMY JEANS! SOMEONE CALL 911!
OK I'm all better now!
