OK, I'm ready to be told that I am being PFB about this; it's DS's first year at secondary school. He's just told me that he tried out for the various sports for Sports Day and hasn't been picked for any of them. There are no inclusive events - you only take part in an event if you are picked. So he's going to spend all day sitting at the side of the field watching others play sports.
Is this normal for secondaries? I know he's not the greatest sportsperson but he's keen and involved, and I would have expected that they would have some kind of inclusive events that everyone could take part in.
It's a rather old-fashioned boys' state grammar school if that makes a difference (his choice of school, based on the fact that his friends were going there, and not entirely my cup of tea if I am honest, though in general he's very happy there).

To think that all kids should take part in Sports Day if they want to?
