"It was a great opportunity for our kids to kind of realize that while, yes, winning is a big deal, there's bigger life lessons out there," McEnaney said.

These kids has something to really be proud of.

My daughter, who does not have any disability other than a fear/dislike of organized sports, had a moment like this a couple of years ago in fourth grade p/e. She finally got to score at dodgeball to day the teacher deliberately started an argument with the person who should have thrown her out, in order to give her time to run. She just beamed when she got home, and later I heard about how her big moment happened from the teacher. I normally would say that sticking to the rules is the way to go and that people should earn their points, but I’m really glad the teacher did what he did. With a little confidence gained from that experience, she played a bit better and had a better attitude about p/e after that.
