    In today’s society, Mr. Lockjaw would catch hell from a parent for calling a kid a quitter.

    Kids who think games are only fun when you win. Win or lose, you should have fun. Calvin should tell his mom or the principal about Lockjaw. I think he would’ve been fired or demoted, or something. Bad call for a teacher.

    Way to coach a player who just caught a high ball the first chance he gets.

    Plenty of blame to go around:1. Mr. Lockjaw didn’t explain a thing to Calvin, just sent him off to fill a position.2. Calvin’s teammates ignored him, even when it was time to come in to bat.3. Calvin was daydreaming—so even if he had been called, would he have noticed?4. Calvin’s teammates blamed him for doing something not many six-year-olds would have managed. They are hung up on the rules, even threatened violence, and certainly ostracized him. No wonder he wants to quit.5. Mr. Lockjaw accepts his resignation, calls him a quitter, and does nothing more—just as he had when Calvin showed up.

    If this happened today, Calvin would administer swift justice against his abusive peers and coach.

    Life is unfair, and Calvin is going through a sad but important lesson. :(

    If I was there, I would snap at them saying “the only reason why I joined this stupid team is because I didn’t want to be called a wimp! give me at least some credit!!”. yeah, I would be suuuuuuuuuuuper mad.

    It was kids like these, and a teacher like that, that saw me very quickly lose all interest in team sport. A bit later than 2nd grade, I think it was around 5th grade.

    I still persisted, but still got bullied out, but eventually I simply gave up trying, and was then bullied for my non-participation by the same kind of people who’d bullied me when I tried to participate.

    You can’t win, all you can do is turn your back on these people and leave them behind you.

    Mr Lockjaw and all the abusive kids can shove their bats where the sun don’t shine. Hopefully at least Calvin gets consolation from his Dad when he recounts this incident.
