Yes, DESTROY excellence.
It seems so crazy, that we eliminate valedictorians and don’t keep score in kids sports events and such. When we are also told at the same time, that we need to be a better educated better prepared workforce than ever, to compete in the global economy.
On the one hand, we’re told we need to be better educated and more highly skilled than ever, to compete in a 21st century world economy, but at the same time, with acts such as not keeping score and eliminating competition in schools, our schools are distinctly not doing the job of preparing the students for life. How ironic.
