But I do make them play sport because, like Jordan, I do think that's what is really important. I do think that competitive sports is really important for everyone to participate in, whether they like it or not. I heard the teacher talking from Canterbury about why they do it, that they are trying to provide multiple opportunities to participate. And it's something that we've got to remember that actually participation is really important. I wouldn't say team sports is a really good way to learn to get along with other people to actually get along with people you don't really like and don't really associate with outside a team. Also my parents, they were coaches, my mum was my coach, I was my kids coach, so I love. Kids playing sports and being involved in sports, when it came to the cross-country, I thought, oh, it's a bit sad actually. I do think everyone should participate in that. I do think they could stagger. The cross-country, perhaps like how they stagger marathons so that the really fast competitive runners get to go out first, you call that a safety issue, and that way you can stagger everyone. So as you stagger them, those that might want to participate or don't want to participate can run walk.
