Spelling bee nixed because it 'leaves child behind'

A school decided to not have a spelling bee because of all the children it "leaves behind". This way, ALL students can be equally terrible in spelling, and no one will have the incentive to work hard to win a prize. Yes, I recall how emotionally wounded I was when I lost the spelling bee(7th or 8th place, I think?). Just kidding. Actually, it was really no big deal, other than getting nervous when it was my turn to spell. I don't even remember my sister rubbing it in when she did win. Although, if she would have thought to rub it in, maybe she would have. haha.
