[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 6206959, member: 6750031"] Why [I]must[/I] it be learned at all costs? What's the benefit of doing that? They can learn the same lesson by losing 40-0. Why would you want to humiliate kids to get them to learn a lesson? Especially in a sport? Seriously, there are far more appropriate times and setting where lessons about being defeated can be taught. There are far better methods to teach such lessons as well. There is no need to humiliate kids just because they may have to deal with it later on in life. They are still kids. If we're going to go by the belief that they should learn these humiliating lessons at all costs, we should be hiring teachers that will treat them like some employers treat their employees. Maybe the teacher can scold the kids in class and tell them how worthless they are. You can have the teacher fail the kid to simulate a manager giving the kid a failing job evaluation. Maybe the teacher can sexually harass some of the students so that they can learn about what they may encounter. And was that the only way you could have learned about dealing with failure? I have no idea who Grambling is. :p I could imagine it would be a goo weapon to use. Unfortunately for the players on my high school, there were a few schools with very large players. A lot of them hd older students also. One school in particular had a football team that looked like they should all be college players. This was also a school located in the part of town where you wouldn't want to go for fear of being mugged or shot. Some of their players were weapons... some of their players carried weapons. I remember a few news stories about players getting arrested for being in fights and people getting shot and stabbed. That school was pretty bad. My school had fairly decent players without a criminal record. That is, until two years after I graduated. There were some schools in bad areas that were shut down for reconstruction projects. A lot of the kids got bused in. The school got a bit more dangerous, and the football team got a lot better. Then they finished the construction and the football team now sucks pretty bad. [/QUOTE]
