So my daughters school is having a talent show instead of a play this year. Will she wanted to sing in it. I told her that would be fine to try out. Well just found out that they will not be awarding a winner. They are just having a show. My question is what is so wrong with making these kids winners and losers? Does losing not make a person try harder or practise a little more for next time. Also the school district they are in will not award a Valedictorian. I hate that they treat all kids with kit gloves and worry about hurting someones feelings. I am so glad I have my kids in 4-H so they and see what winning and losing feels like and work for the better. Frostie(just needed to vent a little)
