At my kids' school, it is anti bullying week. Whatever that means. I've been trying to get to the bottom of it.

Is calling someone fat bullying?
Yes.
Is calling someone skinny bullying?
Yes.
Is calling someone ugly bullying?
Yes.
Is calling someone beautiful bullying?
No.
Why?
Because it's nice.
So if you say anything that's not nice, it's bullying, even if it's the truth?
Oh I don't know! (little tantrum)

Now, witness the butt hurt generation in the making.

Next it will be considered bullying to win races on school sports day because the lard ass couldn't get off the start line. I despair

There is no recognition for any tangible achievement, whether on sports day or academically. On sports day, best efforts are made to avoid such a scenario where there may be a "winner." Instead, there are team games, such as throwing bean bags into hoops, jumping over 30 cm high hurdles, walking along a bench with a bean bag on your head and throwing a ball into a basketball hoop about 1.5 m high. There are races: the kids are put into groups of 5 or 6 and they just run down the track. They all get a sticker. Now you would think that's a heat, but you'd be wrong. That's it. There are awards on sports day and it's for the school's star qualities: being polite, being kind, respect, determination and helping others. Invariably, it would be the fat kids who get those.

It's all to rub it in your face. It's the taking part that counts!

Well, you just bite your tongue and smile nicely. Then when you get home, you make it very clear. Luckily my kids listen to me more than the school. It is quite sad really, because there is one kid who was obviously very gifted at running and football and was running circles around everyone. He got no acknowledgement of his talent. I guessed that he wasn't too bright academically, but really his talent in sport should have been recognised and he should be pushed in that direction. Most people are good at something but if there is no competition, no one will ever find out.

... Our benefits system is the most generous in the world, hence we're the laughing stock and the illegals risk their lives to come here. Of course that isn't right. They live better on benefits than the hardworking middle class earner, getting up at 5am struggling on a rough commute, not being to afford a house or holidays or getting their kids into a local school because they are full of immigrants. .... This will horrify you: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3888206/He-s-living-like-king-Fury-neglected-family-10-44-000-year-benefits-moved-425-000-four-bedroom-house.html...
This kind of thing really annoys me. I started with nothing and worked bloody hard to get to a slightly better property than shown in the article, and layabouts are given this ... just given it! They are not even British, foreign spongers who came here and started playing the system ... encouraged by social workers and council workers 'who have responsibilities'. If it was up to me they would all be sent to Cameroon. ...and some people wonder why the Brexiteers won.

Today I was at training. This very subject of encouraging kids and rewarding them for just being there was discussed. The trainers were of the opinion that it was not doing the kids any favours. That was heartening.

As for the bullying (Jen) that was the start of the PC society. You are not allowed to be seen to be trying to hurt somebody's feelings.
I therefore suggest quips such as:
- I do love your technique for claiming a whole bus seat for yourself. ( you're FAT )
- I admire your ability to defeat the teachers' insistence that you do some homework. ( you're LAZY )

edit: I missed out a word above.....

That has always been the Lefts plan all along. In the US, they try to target sports culture but to no avail they will not succeed. Sports is in our blood, from K to College. Thank God we finally have a president who will restore sanity. However, we can't rest on our laurels, this will be a continued war for many many years to come.

maybe things have changed because at my first and high school sports was encouraged to lot's of the athletic kid's I know lots that went into sports for a career most to not make it though with injuries or poor lifestyle choices or just not being good enough I find it strange how much you are saying things have changed and thing's like (being polite, being kind, respect, determination and helping others) have come into thing's(being determination and not winning is good but not worth a stickle it send's out the wrong message a pat on the back is right not a stickle). I know from first hand experience how important sports can be for your development as a person it help's in real life with decision making/time management/lifestyle choices/determination/dealing with pressure and it make's you feeling important to your team or as a individual and if your really good it get's you out of class I was in my years and the year above Rugby team and it got me out of lot's of classes at school GOOD TIME'S

Hey I an not saying that FOM's plan by importing 1 million is great, but at least we are about to put a stop to it. Allowing Saudi Arabia into the EU is like asking the Fox to guard the hen house. My hope is US starts closing our bases in Saudi Arabia and Turkey for starters, as they are no friends of ours.

Hey, I wasn't being serious! I actually don't give a shit how the EU implodes now and it probably will do before we can get to action Article 50. We all know that in the end it will just be Germany and the basket cases. France will be out next and I bet they won't mess about.
