Basically I'm saying - should all the children who want to have a go playing in a school team be able to have a go regardless of ability?
My son is in year 4 and for the first time they are playing all kinds of different sports against other schools in tournaments. It is a fantastic opportunity and experience for them - if they're sporty.
His teacher is competitive and picks the best kids to go in the teams. He does a try out and then he picks a team completely based on merit. My son is one of those annoyingly good at everything sorts and has been picked for everything. He loves it and I don't want to take it away from him and I never would say anything to stop him getting involved, but I'm just surprised that his teacher isn't letting everyone have a go. I know some wouldn't want to. But i think if they';ve tried out and they've never been on a team before I would pick them. My husband says i'm being a typical lefty. Just wondering what is standard with these things? I am starting to feel guilty around other parents!
