No wonder kids are so fat

Pogle jr's primary school has lots of teams for stuff.
They do all sorts to get the kids into sports and activities.

She does fencing before school once a week and loves it.

Child labour building fences? That's cruel!

It’s denying a job to skilled British workers too!

I don't know if you're talking about primary or secondary, but Mrs MM is Head of PE at a secondary. They have all sorts of competitive teams playing borough and county sport as well as loads of kids going to clubs where the sport is individual (athletics, tennis etc etc).

To say secondary kids are removed from competitive sport is just wrong.

Primary, it won't be all schools but the majority now have carousel activities instead of sports day where they all get some sort of token for taking part with no overall defined winner.

Just a matter of time until it works it's way into secondary as well....

I hope not. And I doubt it will too since secondary has teachers dedicated to PE.

Knowing a fair few PE teachers, they are all enthusiastic about their sports, and try to instill that in their charges.
