I mean yes, it is a terrible dynamic, but you are portraying it as if there is something wrong with the people vs. the system. If, at your workplace, you knew that some people would get a promotion each year and some would get a demotion, and you were constantly competing against your coworkers to move up vs down, I am betting things would not be too friendly there either.

Yeah, but mom and dad aren’t the ones bad mouthing my co-workers and talking sh@t behind their backs to the boss. Lol. You see why it’s shitty when parents get too caught up in it?[/quote]

It's shitty when anyone gets caught up in it, but at the end of the day, when you have something that is supposed to be highly competitive and involves little kids, with shifting ups and down, it's not going to go well or be friendly and pleasant.  My daughter's the sporty one, but my son is a highly competitive chess player, and it's the same competitive nonsense, only there is no "boss" to talk to.  [/quote]
