WHEN SHOULD WE START COMPETING?
Alfie Kohn, an American lecturer, wrote “Competition is to self-esteem what sugar is to teeth.” How right was his assessment of the competitive world we inhabit today? Is competition,
as many believe, a vital element of life and therefore something to be prepared for from as early
an age as possible? [0. G ] It is certainly a debate that is engaging everyone from
educators and government, to parents and children themselves
On the one hand, there are those who maintain that competition comes into every aspect
of our lives [1. _] For proponents of this idea, it is essential for children to be exposed
to the trials and tribulations, and occasional joys, of competing in all areas of school life [2. ] In answer to critics who suggest that weaker performers may feel inferior, it is argued that rewards can be given as encouragement in less demanding categories such as punctuality Critics would reply that children know when they’re being patronised
The subject of competitive sports in schools is also hotly debated [3. _] They say ‘someone has to come last’ But do they? Is it really a good thing for that child’s development to be seen to fail time after time? [4. _] But then we find ourselves considering another thorny issue – that of the pushy parent who hopes to achieve his or her lifelong ambition through the child
[5. _] The children can play, but no league tables can be compiled, and there are no trophies or medals given out The aim of this move was to protect children from ambitious parents and aggressive coaches on the sidelines, from bullying and from peer pressure
There is no doubt that we live in a very competitive world and children must at some time learn to be able to make their way through it However, perhaps school is a time for learning to co-operate rather than to compete That will all come later
A We all know the misery of the child who always comes last at sports day
B There will always be winners and losers and we have to be prepared for the fight
C Some parents approve unconditionally of this
D Recently, competitive football for children under eight years old was banned
E At least with after-school sports children are given the choice of whether they wish to
compete or not
F The rewards system in schools that gives stars and merits for good performance is a part
of this and claims to spur children on to great achievements
G Or is encouraging youngsters to compete simply setting many up to fail, and creating a
situation where a loss of confidence is inevitable, with all the consequences that this

be the promotion of cleaner fuels and vehicles that produce lower (6) _ However, the only way motorists will contemplate using (7) of them is if they are considered to be
an affordable and therefore viable option Simultaneously, motorists should be discouraged from (8) _ unnecessary journeys If greater incentives were offered for car-sharing with colleagues or using park-and-ride schemes, more people would be inclined to use these schemes Although in all fairness, it would not do any (9) for public transport systems to be re-examined, as relying on them can be somewhat tough going and, in some parts of the country, the service provided is simply (10) _ for people’s needs, which is why more people drive
