Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 3034836, member: 86"] Yep. My generation went to high schools that many times didn’t support all sports. Varsity spots were hard to come by and not everyone could play. Cut day was real and it sucked. so when we raised our kids we wanted them to not only be part of a team but actually play. We passed every school budget that contained funding for sports. We even told schools to pay for the equipment, don’t send buses, we’ll take care of getting kids to / from practice. Many took it too far, lobbied for sports where there were no cuts. Mandatory playing time for kids. and our kids became a generation with bookcases filled with participation trophies who have no coping skills. These kids are a product of their environment, it’s not like they were suddenly injected with a snowflake gene. [/QUOTE]
