This doesn't sit very well with me. I can see not really keeping score in 5-6 under, but kids aren't (hopefully) that dumb, and will figure it out pretty quick.
I don't know about playing "to increase skills for later use", either. If they kids have no drive or motivation to do better, why would they want to increase their skills? So they can not keep score until 20? This just seems like a bad idea to me. It does put me in mind of a conversation I frequently have with my lead hand at work though.
She says "Perfection is not required."
I always reply "If you don't demand excellence, you're only going to get sh**."
