I don't want to even get started on sportsmanship. BUT it starts at home. Parents are a child's first teachers. The reason that we see poor sportsmanship is just part of the general lack of civility in our society today. Since I work for myself, I have substituted teaching math and science in the Toledo Public School District because of the shortage of teaches in those areas, and my wife and I are quite active in school affairs. So I was aghast one time when I was teaching at East Toledo Jr. H.S. and the assistant principal told me that students at her were not required to exhibit good manners because they were not taught it at home therefore it would not be required of them in school. This is a great example of two wrongs making a third wrong.
