This is mental!
Funnily, on Tuesday I got a call from TR Jnr (which I thought was to tell me where he had come in his school Cross Country) but it was to tell me he didnt do it as he is part of the school production that evening, they were told they didnt need to do the Cross Country if they didnt want to and save thier energy.
He said at least 2/3 of the crew didnt do it.
That night I spoke to him about it and said you know how last year you werent happy with where you came, and how you have been much fitter this year and had been looking forward to seeing how much you could improve your placing by...
For my mind, the schools maybe need to change thier approach to it, make it more of a fun run, let those that want, dress up and do it. The ones who take it seriously, will still do so, those who find it a chore may just do it and enjoy it and then the ones who will convince thier parents to keep them home or write a note will do so still.

@nepia They weren't who I was referring to.
I have no idea who you were referring to, when I was at school all us fatties tried to get out of cross country. One year the teacher caught us playing rugby (probably league as easier to play at school) when cross country was on and made us run anyway.

I didn’t endure dozens of practice runs over months of frosty Wellington mornings so little fattys today can opt out so their little feelings don’t get hurt.
We all had to suffer, what makes these little shits so special ?This is your best ever post.
I fucken hated running, still do but I wasn't exactly emotionally scarred from doing it.
Fucken pussies nowadays.

There seems to be a lot of people absolutely determined to raise a generation of delicate flowers these days. Losing sucks but it's a part of life, kids need to learn how to cope with it. A bit of emotional resilience is hardly a bad thing.
On a vaguely related note I was at a playground with the boy the other day. There was a girl, 6 or 7 years, that fell off some bars trying a trick. She got up, dusted herself off and went to try again when her mother ran up to her and gave her a big lecture, then wouldn't let her try again despite her protests. That summed up everything that is wrong with so many parents today.
