    Why should we be teaching competitiveness? That’s how you turn society into individuals who only look out for their own needs and are apathetic when you do things like a fascist coup. Oh wait…

    Nah, I’d much rather be teaching kids cooperation.

    (Sports are still great, but not for the reason of teaching competitiveness).
