Yes, real life has competition, Until a a few years ago I would have agreed with you. Now I found that people who are emotionally heathlier have been "protected" from competition in early life and are perfectly capable of dealing with competition in later life. Especially if the earlier life had unconditional love as part of it.
With unconditional love, they get all they need to meet life's challanges.
I'm missing which part of what I said you're disagreeing with. That real life has competition? That it should be okay to play tag at recess? That it is good to teach non-competitive games?
Elaboration: Tag should not be played in school yards, where parents expect school personnel to supervise. Neighborhood games amoung kids is "private space". Kid will sort this out for themselves. Uncontrolled competative games in school yards, smacks of institutional approval.
Sort of like, tell "dirty..sexist...etc"..jokes to friends (who appreciate it) in private, but don't make it part of the overall work/public enviroment.
Ah ok, thanks. I'm not sure what my position on this is. I would be very surprised if there is any child in America today who grew up without any form of competition. That child would be a good test case for learning competition for the first time as an adult...
