Work as hard and as SMART as you possibly can. If you still come up short that is life. Not everyone is going to be a champion. Life is NOT a level playing field so why deceive our high school kids into thinking it should be? I thought the goal was to get kids to participate, learn and grow. If we have to tell them they are going to be champions to make that happen then we are all in trouble.
Could you not tell private school kids the same thing if they were to play up a classification? The old life's not fair lesson is good for the public school kids but not the private school kids?
We're not saying private school students cannot compete, participate, learn and grow. Why not tell them what you want us to tell our kids?
I personally could care less because we will figure out a way to compete and win. That is what we have always done. It just seems like a crappy lesson that my tax dollars are supporting. "If we can't beat them then lets penalize them!"
