Well it had to happen

<< < (2/2)

gords:
Failing, learning from it and doing better next time is how life is!

Non competitive sports days ... now there's another stupid idea :evil: Somebody does win, somebody does come last!

All it's going to do is generate soft, lazy, sponging lay-abouts :evil:

I, for one, will be doing my utmost to make my children competitive and have the desire to suceed and "do better". I don't want them living at home when they've grown up :wink:

Yes, it is bonkers and it makes no ones life any easier. When a child knows they will get 'something' at the end it removes their incentive to try, they then become a discipline problem and effect all the other children in the class.

Currently the goverment has a policy of spreading the misery around (insisting that each school takes its share of malcontents) rather than dealing with the problem. Diluting the problem in this way makes it appear smaller than it actualy is.

So we offroaders or mudclubbers do not get hurt feelings or egos shattered I guess when we have (on the rare occasion of course :oops: ) a failed hillclimb.......

From now on it will be designated 'A Deferred Success Hillclimb'   8)

TimM:
And in a similar manner getting stuck somewhere will be 'Defered progress'

I can see it now: "Whilst greenlaning this morning I made it through xyz pass without getting stuck once, I had a little deferred progress and the 1/4 mile route took some 8 hours."

Tim. :evil:
