[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just sayin'. I think these behaviors are learned from parents.[/quote]

No that's not true.  I always very careful to teach my kid to be polite when correcting weak and/or stupid teammates and to most definitely not actually call them weak or stupid.[/quote]

NP. I believe your child was correct about the soccer strategy, but I think you should reflect on your use of words and how you refer to a teammate as "weak" or "stupid" or even think that way. Children mature at different rates and the weak or stupid player one season may be a great player the next season. The way you worded things here assumes that being "weak" or "stupid" is fixed and a child was born that way. It's a moment in time. To look at the broader picture - and I know I'm really going off topic - but these types of words have been said historically about certain groups of people as a justification for repression. I'm especially sensitive to this type of thing as DH is from URM group. I would gently suggest you teach your child not to think like this. I have no idea of the race of the other player involved but I have heard this kind of talk from people in an academic setting when talking about minority children and group work at our school.
