I
agree wholeheartedly. And I think it's quite
unfortunate that in both quiz bowl and in
soccer-for-munchkins, I've seen a vast increase in both inappropriate
trash talk and inappropriate anger in recent
years.
How do we reverse the trend in academic competition?
What is the appropriate response during a tournament
when it happens, and are those responses being taken
during tournaments?
Questions I've pondered a lot
on this past Summer. I wish I had good
answers.
