As a referee of child sports, I get to see the delusional thinking of parents about their children constantly.

I find it funny when the rich white kids get scored on 8 times by the poor scrawny mexican kids.

That doesn't sound like a very good attitude for a referee.

As my child sits on my lap I watch this

^Keep telling it how special it is and don't forget to feed it and keep flammable things out of its reach.

Fellatio is the best form of birth control.

Picturing you as a referee scares me. But that probably has something to do with the fact that when I picture you refereeing, I'm still picturing you as Annie holding a gun.

I think in 30 years all children will be born into education spheres only to emerge when they are 21!

Is there anything Mexicans can't do better than Wealthy White Americans?!

What attitude should a referee have? We're all sports fans, and seeing David triumph over Goliath is always fun. Also I didn't say I work hard to ensure that the Mexican kids triumph over the rich white kids.

Also you kinda have to know the history of the game to get what I'm talking about. Soccer is sort of a poor mans sport, which is why many of the Stars of the game have stories of coming from abject poverty.

One vote away from the top! Gah! I can never score big enough...

You're welcome!

I'm yet to see any evidence that telling kids they're special has any measurable negative impacts. I can accept it's bullshit, but I think the suggestion that it's harmful is precisely just as much bullshit. If someone can point to any evidence beyond the rantings of cranky old men, I'd love to see it.

You mean how kids have weaker immune systems because parents are over-sanitizing everything?

No, I mean how the 'every kid is special' thing is ruining children when they get into the 'real world'. This is a mantra of cranky old men, and has been as long as I've been an adult (15 odd years). The idea is that we are creating these 'delicate flowers' that suffer when they face real rejection, for example in the job market. It was levelled at my generation, and pretty much every one since. Now, us Gen Xers are saying it about Gen Yers, as if we're any different. We're just older.

I just haven't seen any evidence of it actually happening. What I think happens is the same thing that has always happened. Kids grow up into adults, experience the 'real world' and look at the next generation as being a bit softer.

My theory is it's just people getting older and looking at people with less life experience than them, and blaming the school system or parents or whatever.

This has nothing to do with hygiene standards, which I agree are counterproductive. Or over-organising kids, for that matter, which I also think has consequences.
