Why Shouldn't 'Competition'​ Be Used in Education of the Equal-rights World?

“Man is not, by nature, deserving of all that he wants. When we think that we are automatically entitled to something, that is when we start walking all over others to get it.” ― Criss Jami

I think we should not let our children understand that learning is a kind of competition. Comparing the grade of children might not a good way to teaching the children in the equal-rights world. The law states that every child has the equal rights regardless their background, religion and belief, poor or rich, female or male, and .... What's more, we always wish to see our children are treated fairly in their life although we are poor/rich or we have low/high education level. However, in the reality we are trying to compare them with other children via grade, or we admire them because they are better than others. Sometimes we compare one to another among family member. The same thing has been happening in school, the grade is publicly by the end of each month, then children start mocking one another. Close friends sometimes turn to be competitive learners, or they sometimes stop talking to each other owing to one has earned better grade than another one. Another may be feeling sad and confine himself/herself in a room, decided not to communicate with another because they think that they are not as good as those people. Thus, why are we teaching them to compete in education environment while we wish to see them living together and supporting each other for the better future of our country and the world?

As we all may agree that every child has her/his own talent and s/he has own way of success in building who they are for their future. Some children may not really good at one thing, but they may be great at another thing. The point is that we ourselves do not exactly understand their talent; however, we make a judgement that this child is good or better or worse than that one.
I am not really known if there are any study's findings/theory has never been criticized by the new one. Thus why we need to believe to much in one thing that might be criticized by another? However, we'd better do what they we all have in common for our children in their future.

I understand that some readers here will not agree with my idea to some extent, but I am more than happy if you can share with me your points of view on this topic. Thank you in advance.
