When i was growing up, field day was the BEST day of the school year!!! It was filled with competition, fun, goofiness, and OUT OF UNIFORM!!! Noah's school had field (half) day a few weeks ago and Allen and I helped out. I helped with Noah's class, shuttling them from station to station and Allen helped at the parachute station. Field day just isn't what it used to be! First of all, it is only a half of a day. They actually expect the students to sit still and learn the 2nd half..um, what??? Second of all, there is no longer any competition to anything anymore...um, what??? What is this nonsense of "everybody wins"? that is CRAP!!! It is okay to have a winning and losing team! I hardly doubt my team won every year and guess what...i don't have self confidence problems or feel worthless about myself. Probably the opposite...I am competitive.. but a healthy amount! And losing just makes me want to try harder! the fact that no one was keeping score to each event didn't bother Noah...he still "raced" his opponent as if he were going to win an olympic gold medal.
