"It's like the youth leagues where the younger ones don't have score kept". Are those the same kids doing the new math where it doesn't matter that they don't get the right answers? Well I hope those kids are not designing the planes I fly in.
I remember being in Little League and we always kept score. I learned you win some, you lose some. One of the first things I learned when becoming a flight instructor was something called "The law of Primacy".

"First impressions are the most lasting. This means that those first lessons are all-important."
Thats why the lessons learned in a child's first few years are extremely important. I don't believe in any of this new fangled pc cr@p the school systems are forcing down our throats. It's creating nothing but a new generation of cry babies.
Keeping this on topic, I'm sure the kid that was DQed knows that his cooking was not for nought as he honed his skills, maybe made some new friends and hopefully learned one of lifes lessons.
P.S. I think all this has made me realize I want children. I'm gonna go tell my wife the good news!!!!
