I can’t see anything wrong in what Psychosis said in that thread.
All kids need to be out in the fresh air and play that is the truth. But not sure why anyone who hates sports should be made to take part in sports day.
Being dyslexic in the 60s and having my short stories read out to the class by the teacher who read it as was written with a smirk ( to the whole class's amusement ) not how I intended it, was downright awful and soul-destroying, leading me to stop going to school at all. I was amazing at every sport and field event but academically I was a mess. I could read long before I went to school at age 4 but spelling , writing and maths, just gave me nightmares. I could just imagine how me being forced to take part in a spelling bee would turn out.
Let kids be who they are. Nothing wrong in everyone having a great sports day some as participants and the rest as the cheerers and encouragers , that way it's a day that all school kids and their parents look forwards to.
