I have tried to understand the arguments for noncompetitive sports day, but they don’t make any sense. Every single aspect of life is competitive and to deny this, and hide children from it, is irresponsible. They say that the children who come last at sports day shouldn’t be subjected to such public humiliation. I’ve been to a lot of sports events and school sports, and I have never seen anybody laughed at or humiliated for trying their best.
