Why is the Anarchist community so disconnected from mainstream Britain

A - It was a massive success
B - Support among the population was overwhelming
C - It came in under budget
D - Everything worked to plan
Of all these points it is B that most troubles me. I work as a teacher and I was the only person in my school not completely in support. Two of my colleagues gave up some of their summer holidays to volunteer ! All of the pupils were supportive, somehow the Olympics even managed to be 'cool' with them which amazed me. Now they are back at school we are already seeing a greater number wanting to be involved in competitive sport, note not just sport but competition. The need to win is far stronger than it was before the Olympics and when I talk about winning as unpleasant I am laughed at.
Why do they not understand the Anarchist ethos ? Why are we not getting our message across ? Why was the Olympics such a success ?
