One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomachaches. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.
What caused so much pain? Sports day! Sports day might be necessary at some schools, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is nightmare(噩夢). Even for those who enjoy running but fall behind in front of so many students and their parents, it can prove a disaster.
Why do we put our children through the painful and difficult event every year? Some may say competition is helpful to build character; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in pain.
Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm(熱情), lots of shouting — and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes.
I wish that sports day could be given up or replaced(代替) with some other events. 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.
