Nothing prepares you to be a winner in life better then learning what it is like to lose. The PC folk have ruined so many kids this way... by never letting them feel what it is like to lose they completely remove the desire to win.

Yeah, I was just discussing this with someone the other day. Used to be, if you had challenges, you had to face up to them and conquer them. Now...if you have a reading disability, for example, they make special consessions to you, and you never focus on your capabilities. If that makes sense?
