Quote:Okay, so you are not a "Drill Sergeant" ... Teach your kid that hard work by painting the house, pulling weeds, cleaning the gutters, and washing the car pays off with a nice little allowance. ... OR, you could hand them a ball, and tell them to work hard at smashing the smallest kid on the other team will reward them with not only a big shiny trophy, but also a nice little allowance ... And when they lose? It becomes a new lesson of why they need to work harder?

 

When did sports become the epitome of teaching hard work? There is a reason the very small mangaloid is still alive while the dinobones are displayed in the museum.
