Life With Sulis

This is a rant so don't read if you don't want to hear my opinion.


What is wrong with the world today by Sulis:

Today I realized what is wrong with today’s kids. They have no idea what competition is. What Winning and losing is about. We have coddled them into believing that as long as they "TRY" everything is cool. Well, it’s not. Sometimes shit is tough and sometimes your best isn't good enough. Giving up is not an option. All this crap about “don't give them grades because it might hurt their self esteem” has made America weak. Don't play sport or don't keep track of scores if you do play them is asinine. How will our children ever develop pride in their accomplishment if nothing means anything? It’s frustrating as hell, as an educator, to see our children losing because people are afraid we might hurt their widdle bitty feelings. BULLSHIT!!! Life is all about trials and tribulations. The measure of your life and how happy it will be comes from how well you learn to adapt and grow from what life throws at you. Coddling our children hasn't taught them anything more then that nothing, including human life, has value. Is it a wonder that we are slowly sliding downhill in the superpower race. People remember, OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE! Make sure they are damn well ready to claw their way to the top. Teach them manners, teach them sportsmanship, teach them diplomacy, but make them understand that sometimes they will lose and what matters then is how they grow from there.

End rant!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am reorganizing. Hugs!
