    They do all sorts to get the kids into sports and activities.

    Child labour building fences? That's cruel!

          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.
