Competition the Two Edged Sword Blog Comment
This is a refreshing blog post from to me somewhat of an unlikely source. Now without stereotyping the homeschool movement I would not have thought prior to reading the post that the author would have felt they way they did. The post is in regards to competition and how competition is a natural and neccessary form of interaction that when not taken to extremes is perfectly healthy for kids. I could not agree more this new era of child rearing where everyone gets a ribbon is totally wrong. This is not how life works people. I cannot even begin to list all the life lessons that I have learned through competition be it from sports or any other type. Without those experiences I know that I would not be able to face and overcome with ease that I have some of the adversity that I have been challenged with thus far in life. A GREAT REFRESHING post.
