When I was teaching 8th Grade back in the '80s...

We'd play a "New Age Game" called something like... "Win As Much As You Can !!!"

It was definitely interesting to watch...

The rules of the game had to do with the buying and selling of businesses and stock...

And the kids learned a rudimentary lesson on that.

But the game was rigged... in a good way...

Never said... yet discovered later... the only way you could win, was by cooperation.

I forget the details... but the looks on the student's faces when they thought they had conquered the world, only to find that they had lost...

The game was "Win As Much As You Can!!!" - And you could only do that by cooperating.

There was one team... one year... that immediately got it.

They cruised to victory... blowing everybody's minds...

I wonder what they are doing these days.





Oh... And K & R !!!
