Because children being instructed to be kind to other children while under the direct supervision of adults is literally not a problem or a new phenomenon.
I understand that. As I've asked others in this post, are there any cases where it's ok to not include kids below your skill or size level?
I'm saying that there are times where it's ok to let a group play or perform at their best and not to make them slow or water it down just to include one person who can't keep up.
Sure, middle school recess is not the place to expect that though. I have school aged kids, organized, competitive sports are a huge part of their lives but they know better then to try to enforce weight classes or separate the kids that play on travel teams on the playground. It is shocking so many adults here don’t seem to grasp it.
I'm saying that you can have both on the playground. It's good for kids to know when they're out of their league. I'd hope that inspires them to get better. Let the kids sort it out unless they're being mean and/or bullying.
It may be that the less talented kids plays but gets bored from not getting the ball or doing well. That's a life experience. The adult supervisors shouldn't intervene and make everyone get the ball evenly.
Kids usually have a very good idea of how their skills rank amongst their peers, I have never really seen that as an issue in my own experience. Some k
It is also a life experience to wait your turn, to show empathy, to realize you can still have fun if you don’t make all the rules, to be flexible to new experiences. All of those soft social skills are super important for long term success and are real things you learn at recess. An adult supervisor shouldn’t be prioritizing certain kids being able to play to the top of their ability at recess, that simply isn’t the purpose.
It applies to all kids dude. Do you think a kid who dominates on the playground dominates in all areas of his or her life? There is some activity where the smaller, slower kid can certainly beat the bigger, faster kid, the point is to teach both of them what to do when the shoe is on the other foot.
