Expensive Editor,
As I wipe my 8yr outdated son’s tears right now I vowed to by no means be in assist of one other college sports activities, hereafter. All my little one needed to do was run however he would have been a primary time runner and the instructor in cost wasn’t positive he would “mek we win”, so she denied his solely request to take part within the college races.
I trailed behind the folks in cost all morning as a result of I believed to myself, they will need to have a coronary heart however my quite a few pleas to incorporate him in one thing, fell on deaf ears. I even requested if he might a minimum of participate within the lime and spoon race and was denied but once more. What’s the level of the varsity sports activities if it might depart the children feeling so unnoticed? Have the scoring of those races actually corrupted the primary level of the varsity’s sports activities?
As a guardian my coronary heart broke for my son and I used to be not the one dissatisfied guardian. My son was so excited concerning the sports activities, I expensed myself with not simply the sports activities donations and tickets but additionally looking all by way of Georgetown for his or her sports activities apparel. I ended up all the way in which up Giftland Mall and, although it was much more pricey, I used to be glad to get him in his sportswear.
Oh, however I didn’t know I had to purchase lengthy socks as properly, so guess what, my son wasn’t even allowed to participate within the march due to this. Then to high it off they had been denied meals as a result of they weren’t athletes. I now see why numerous kids are absent on sports activities day. All of the enjoyable that was, has been taken out of our faculty sports activities and it’s now a giant competitors for the lecturers reasonably than a joyous expertise for the youngsters.
Sincerely,
J. Smith
