Quote:So you're saying kids are so dumb that receiving a trophy that everyone else got has them believing they are as good at that sport as everyone else on the team, and that the lesson they learn is that they need not excel in life, they will get a meaningless reward either way?

 

You don't give kids much credit.
 

I'm saying it's one chance to teach kids a life lesson. Not to many institutions teach kids that rewards are earned instead we teach rewards are entitlements, but hey hyperbole is fun!

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
