A great initiative

Maybe there's hope after all?

But what's up with this dribble: "Education campaigners have warned that the school should not stray too far from competitive team games, which foster team spirit and help prepare pupils for adult life."

We could begin to talk about a few other things those "sacred" team games can foster ...

Story:
A British school is downgrading traditional sports like rugby, football, hockey and netball in favour of yoga, karate, kick-boxing and Frisbee.

Authorities at the historic Suffolk school, founded in 1550, say the new activities help reluctant pupils to enjoy physical education lessons and encourage them to keep fit.

But education campaigners have warned that the school should not stray too far from competitive team games, which foster team spirit and help prepare pupils for adult life.

The school has become the first state school in Britain to hire its own martial arts instructor. It has also appointed a personal trainer to coach the school's top-performing athletes and increase physical activity among less confident pupils.
