>>They also played sports.
It’s interesting to observe how today’s cadre of liberal edumacators are so busy teaching everybody else’s kids how not to compete by making sure everybody gets a trophy/ribbon/cookie... whilst at the same time teaching their own offspring how to draw as much blood as possible.
Doing what the Vanguard elite have always done.
In playing sports I told my kids:
Never brag about yourself
Be supportive of your team mates(tell the truth if they screw up, but no name calling or personal attacks)
Play whatever position the coach wants you to play without complaint.
Don't argue with the coach
Don't whine or complain
When you are on the field keep your head in the game and play as hard as you can
I knew my kids would never be professional athletes. But they enjoyed playing and had fun.
