[quote=Anonymous]Makes me think about 4th grade basketball. The coach said that everyone would get at least 5 mins in the game against another school. My mom came to the game and I was never put in. She talked to the coach who said “well, she’s not good enough.” My mom made the point - which I appreciated - that when you’re going in a circle reading out loud you don’t skip the kids who aren’t the good readers. I actually thought the bigger problem was that she’d promised - if she planned to pick players based on skill / wanting to maximize the chance of winning she shouldn’t have promised. Anyway, I think demoralizing behaviors and being left out is condoned in athletics in way it isn’t elsewhere and picking teams is an extension of that. I was a “star” in another sport and even in that season I really hated our PE teacher. Her positive treatment of me in that season just felt so transparent or hypocritical. [/quote]
