Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that is important; or that's a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.

　　Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting－and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.

　　I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less­competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.
