[mini hijack]As a teacher for the past 10 years, I can absolutely guarantee that the disappointment these girls are facing IS because of the mentality that "everyone must be rewarded". I can't tell you how many times I was chastised because I REFUSED to recognize everyone. I'm not doing it to be mean, I'm doing it to be REALISTIC. We live in a world where everyone DOESN'T get the job, DOESN'T make the team, DOESN'T get whatever they truly wanted. It's called REAL LIFE. As a teacher not only am I supposed to prepare my students for the next grade based on the standards I need to teach them but I need to give them that dose of reality, because no offense parents out there, 95% of the time they ain't getting it at home.

No recruitment system is perfect. Unfortunately girls do fall through the cracks. It happens.
