Here’s a thought-provoking interview for any instructor. Is competition good or bad?
Speaking personally, I certainly find competition motivating in the classroom, though not to me personally. I also find too much of it bad.
It also seems to me that it is an important part of learning to learn how to lose, learn that you are not God, then pick yourself up, and go on. On the other hand, it seems important to learn how to win graciously, with respect for your opponent–and to learn that “winning” is ultimately an empty thing.
