In adult world, everone get at least minimum wage. It does work that way.
I would suggest two cups, one for one winner and one for all winners and let people choose.
I would also propose to limit Federal gov power and let states decide what they want to do and people can vote with their votes or move.
but getting a gold sticker on everyones math test despite failing or not is not the same as everyone at mcdonalds getting $8/hr...because NOT everyone working there does indeed get $8/hr.
Nope. Not joking. I know the difference between what I accomplished and what the age category and overall winners accomplished, but that medal is an important touchstone for me. When I'm feeling discouraged, it reminds me of what I can do when I set my mind to it. Obviously, you feel differently. Whatever.
Isn't that medal just a token handed out to everyone who participated? My sisters get T-shirts for running marathons every year and must have wardrobes of them. They do it for fun, fitness and to get together.
Parents should be less concerned with the lessons of winning and losing for young kids and concentrate on kids learning team work, and good sportsmanship.. PERIOD!
It's ok, dust off your 18th place ribbon, no one will judge; you earned it I'm sure.

That works great up until about 5th grade. Then you have to teach them how to compete. I saw a lot of good athletes over the years that were very skilled at their sport but they had no idea of how to compete.
