Everyone makes mistakes. That is my point. You were the one having a go at Rahul9194 for posting the same comment twice...it makes sense to me how someone can do that. The things you write on the other hand, are completely incomprehensible.Posting a coherent message twice or a simple typo is understandable, but if you're going to become the forum police and pull people up about things...at least make sure people can understand what you write.These are just some quick 'copy and pastes' of things you have written. Some of it, I can't even guess what you are trying to say.menntallyand Indian brains are valued more accepted by Obama......and mmind you child is the father of a man....They are powerhouse of football....what have the people gained through this activities only life have been lostf they are given with trophies they become self-contented

Absolutely not. My child is a straight A student. The Kiwanis club here in Choctaw, Ok has a program called the BUG program. If a child brings his grade up 2 notches, he gets a $25 gift card for wal-mart. That's great for those kids. Good idea. But what about my kid? Should he drop a couple grades to get the gift card? That's the message he's getting. On the other hand, he also plays soccer. And he's not that good. He doesn't make it to every practice or every game. So- the coach doesn't play him in games much. He might get 8 minutes at the end of the game if we're already losing anyway. And do I throw a hissy fit? Nope. Because he doesn't deserve to play. And frankly, if he gets a trophy at the end of the season for "participation" I will kick somebody's butt. Because that's the easy way out. Show up part of the time, and you get a trophy for it. That's not cool. Why? Because someday my precious 10 year old straight A student who isn't good at soccer will have to get a job. And he won't get a promotion for showing up half the time. He won't get "employee of the month" at McDonalds for that either. These are life lessons. Small ones that help our kids grow into responsible adults. The problem with society today is that everyone thinks they are ENTITLED to a trophy. And everyone whines about it, and the wussies complain that their feelings are hurt and they sue somebody for something stupid so they can "win" money because THEY DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Wake up people... you are creating a whole new species of lazy whiny people.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?

It does not build confidence. It promotes laziness and encourages them to do the minimum. If you want to increase confidence, support them. I have 2 sons. My oldest is not built well for contact sports. However, he has tried and failed at some. He is good at track, and he is good at archery. So far he has not received any trophies, but he continues to try harder at the 2 sports he is good at, and he will eventually get trophies. I supported his efforts on everything, and I encourage him to try harder. My youngest son loves football. He has not received any trophies, but he still keeps trying. If either of my kids were to receive a trophy, the only thing they would gain from it; is that it doesn't matter how hard you try or how little effort you put in, you will still receive the same as those who worked hard at it and earned it. Simply put, it is promoting socialism, and I am 100% against it.

Yes, all children should receive a trophy/metal in sports despite losing! Let kids build confidence and feel happy and proud. Let kids know that winning or losing isn't the important thing, but it is part of life. In my cheer competitions, everyone gets a trophy for participation. Winners get a ribbon, but that's not what's important.

Awarding a participation trophy at the end of the season represents the child's contribution to the team, their hard work throughout the season, and their willingness to work together. This doesn't teach children that they've earned something for nothing. It is recognition for their efforts that they may draw upon later in life as a reminder of how hard work eventually pays off.

i think yes but not one that says 1st place because some kids just give up on what the love because not receiving an award makes them think they aren't good at what they love and they think they are not meant here it works just like bullying but not in that particular way

Awarding trophies to every child in little leagues sparks debate check useful tips . While it fosters inclusivity and boosts self-esteem, it may dilute the value of achievement and hard work. It's crucial to balance recognition with teaching the importance of effort and improvement. Creative recognition, such as personalized feedback or progress awards, can celebrate individual contributions while encouraging growth and resilience, aligning with nurturing well-rounded individuals.

Here is a true story about this girl. When she was nine, she was whining about not receiving a medal... Her mother told her to suck it up and work harder. So, she did. After a year of rough trainings, she finally got a little medal. Nothing extraordinary. For the next year competitions, she worked even harder. She got more medals and ranked higher in her division. Today, she is a member of her regional team. LIFE LESSON: She was taught that to get what she wants she needs to work for it.

What is a trophy? A trophy is a token of victory - a symbolic representation of success, if you will. If trophies are handed out to everybody - losers as well as winners - it is no longer of any import to the winner (i.e. he could just as easily have received it without success, thus making success irrelevant for the most part.).

Did you know that there are different sizes and colors of trophies?Large meaning well done, small meaning good try/effort.Also, if you put it your way, why have silver and bronze medals? They didn't win, they don't deserve one, do they? They failed. Your statement is flawed.

You don't get rewarded for losing in the real world. Why should we blind our children with lies? They will grow up and face problems in the world. They should know that you only get rewarded for over coming things, not for only trying. An 'A' for effort is only part of the equation.

Jeez, why not bring back the whip and compulsory military service. Life isn't just about success, and childhood isn't about moulding hardened competitive warriors. I think a bit of competition is healthy, but a little undue praise can induce confidence and passion in children. On top of that, some people simply will never succeed in sports regardless of how much you withhold prizes and trophies, so what good will it do them? Giving a kid praise can make them happy and for many people that is more important than drive to 'succeed'.

why not bring back the whip and compulsory military service.We have to register for the draft when we turn 18, and in Israel, military service is mandatory.a little undue praise can induce confidence and passion in children.Losing can bring motivation. When I am playing with my band in school, and I mess up a part, I don't want praise for screwing up. I am motivated to do better, so I practice harder, and longer and get better.some people will never succeed in sports regardless of how much you withhold prizes and trophiesIf they aren't improving after a while, then maybe they should find another hobby or interest.I used to be on a baseball team when i was little. Nobody got a reward for losing, and we were motivated to work harder.

the most stupid thing about modern day school is that they now erase "winners" and "losers"I think Bill Gates said it best:Rule 1: Life is not fair -- get used to it!Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping -- they called it opportunity.Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Side: NO, Life Lesson

Well, I don't care if they get participation trophies if they're in a low rank, but I still want their to be scores and 1st place trophies. Sure, boost confidence and shit by saying "hey kid, you participated..." but reward success by acknowledging that one kid or team did better than everyone else. We still have to teach kids that there are winners and losers. I hate assholes who grow up thinking that everything is supposed to go there way, yet aren't good at doing it. So they just think I'm an asshole for not giving in. If you wanna bullshit me into making you feel better, be a better bullshitter.We're basically creating people who are shitty at bullshitting and very whiny about it. Fuckin' cunts.

This whole idea of everybody getting trophies or medals was created by liberals and Democrats in order to reign in socialism by indoctrination of the kids at an early age.Get everyone to believe that they are a winner.

Or it's just little kids getting medals, and it has nothing to do with liberals. How much you wanna bet that in the heart of Texas little kids get trophies? But please take random events you disagree with and make claims about liberals. You totally don't sound crazy at all ;)
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

1. It's a culturally Liberal mentality. doesn't have to do with Liberals, just liberal belief. That's why I said Liberal Idiocy or Liberal Indoctrination. Like believing in Gay Marriage. If a Conservative believed in gay marriage, would that make him a liberal or just a bearer of liberal belief. 2. Texas isn't the most Conservative state of all time. They do have Liberals there, ya know.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

1. It's just getting trophies. It has nothing to do with liberals. I can think of many people who consider themselves conservative but still support gay marriage. To think that the nation can be divided into two world views and that somehow giving out participation trophies is an example of this fact is probably the definition of simplistic.Seriously though, for someone who hates to be pidgin holed so much you seem to stereotype a shit ton.2. My point was that your claims are only backed up by your own simplistic stereotypes unless you can somehow show me that liberalness is related to the giving out of participation trophies.It's funny how you think you somehow understand liberals and can speak for conservatives. It's not conservatives with some liberal views or liberals with some conservative views. I know it's tough for you to think about, but people are complicated. They can't just be lumped into two arbitrary categories, and when you try and rationalize people's actions based on that ridiculous framework you just sound crazy.If you want my thoughts on why kids get participation trophies it probably has to do with the parents of unathletic kids who think that their little Johnny is the best and deserves a trophy (a phenomenon you'll find among both conservative and liberal parents, I can promise you). Like you however my theory has no proof, so I'm not going to claim to be right.
Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: NO, Life Lesson

You made a counter argument to yourself.At first you try to say that I'm wrong for saying that Conservatives can have liberal views and vice versa, yet you're angry that I'm trying to pidgin hole liberals into this belief system (even though I already said that I never said Liberals. It's merely a liberal belief). Just how YOU EVEN FUCKIN' SAID that you know plenty of Conservatives who believe in gay marriage.The idea of pampering children and making them not know the harsh realities of life comes all the way from the liberal psychologist Carl Rogers. So there's the evidence if you REALLY need some for a stupid and obvious debate like this. It's part of the progressive, liberal culture that we are moving into. Just because it's a liberal belief that YOU disagree with doesn't mean that it automatically isn't liberal. like i said, evidence like carl rogers and shit.

What's the point in trying to win if the losers get the same as you do? What good is confidence without ability to back it? To tell them they did a good job should be good enough. Think of it this way, if two people are being chased by a lion and both are confident but only one has the ability, does the slower one still get a "trophy"? No, he dies. We didn't evolve in such a way for that to be a good strategy.

Debate: Should all children recieve a trophy or medal in sporting events despite losing?
Side: YES, Builds Confidence

It builds confidence, it encourages them to participate in future games, it instils an element of competitiveness in them, it induces passion for a sport or event. Were you a child once? Do you remember playing in a sport and feeling a level of achievement or pride? If it made you happy and made you want that 'success' again then it served a purpose. Kids aren't there simply to be moulded into super-competitive realist machines. A bit of speculative ambition can be a good thing. I'm sure you wouldn't want your kids treated like adults all the time so your analogy doesn't really work.

no, because the children will grow up to believe that even if they loose they are still a winner... no... if you loose you loose... there is no reward for you... you did not do as well as the person who won so you need to deal with that.
