Chad,

Is winning a competition all that's important? Isn't it supposed to really be about letting the kids learn something? In the end your group learnt something. So ultimately they gained experience and education. The other group got a useless trophy.

I know that, and you know that, but convincing them of that isn't working.  What they know is they worked their asses off and were beaten by classmates that taunt them about how little work they did and still won.   :P

Later in life, it will mean something to them.

It might.  But half of my team quit because "the competition isn't fair".  I'm sure at least 4 of the 5 kids would have stayed otherwise.  Many instances would have meant more than one.

I think it is those memories that help us develop into who we are.  I mean, look at how bitter PBJ is all the time. ;D
