This question I ask is something that comes up with sports especially.. I have coached basketball and softball, and to often I hear that everyone should play! Even those who do not show up for practices, or who have little or no ability athletic's wise. When I played sports, if you wanted to be a starter, you had to be out the other players trying for that spot! Now..we say everyone is equal ability and this is not true! We are sending the wrong message to our youth in that, when they get out into this sometimes cold world, the reality is that someone will be better then them at school, in jobs they may be trying to get, and life in general! I am all for instilling confidence, but sometimes I think we go overboard a bit.. Lets be honest.. We are not all equal in everything are we?
