Comment: Which kittitian business person does not work hard?How do you rateJ's and Dollar Stretcher,for example. There certainly is some more important factor in the phenominal success of the Chinese and Indians I suspect that they are willing and able to pay for extras Give them sufficient time and they will swamp all the locals and then we will hear the doleful cry that St Kitts people carn run business

Comment: The parents are the ones to blame. When I went to school every child ran to give their house a point. Whether you have knock knee, bow leg,fat small, short, tall everybody ran. Being an athlete was seen as an honor. That child needs to be informed and recognise that sports days is for the students not teachers. Kim, Keith, Tiandra, Eddy, Vance, Bennett, Ashworth and Ghost were able to attend college and make themselves and others proud because of sports. Sporting activities also keep you healthy

Comment: boy Blick, too much woman loving really nuh good

Comment: Now, I am very happy that this article was written. It really shows what lacking in our communities. I was once an athlete and i did very well in both my school sports and interschool, and I too wanted to dress up. My friends and I ran, then dressed up after so we got to "belong" in all the activities on Sports day. Dressing up is such a ridiculous excuse especially since most these kids would probably die of heart stroke and dehydration from their scarfs and leg warmers.lol but on a serious note. Young ppl need to see athletics as a means to excel. There are parents who can't afford to send their kids off to college and track and field can be that avenue. SKB children have so much opportunities and are wasting them. Parents need to encourage their kids to participate and get away from the small island syndrome that is killing us. Explore the options kids!!! And just imagine, if they go to college in the US on a track scholarship, they wold have more money to spend on leg warmers lol

Comment: Why we always want to talk bad about the young people I am 33 years old and I can remember when I was in school I was very good in athletics but I wanted to dress up on sports day like everybody else so I stopped running. Look where I am today, a highly respected citizen with good values. Its just a phase the young people go through they will get out a it give them a break man

Comment: good lesson let these young man leave the school chilren.

Comment: It's about time that the students' views were made public. This is the trend that teachers see in schools. And it gets worst. I attribute blame to the parents MAINLY. They have become very slack in the responsibilities, And as a result you can see it in their children's performance, attitude and behavior. I personally feel the schools should 'done away' with the sports and shows, until the value of them is seen and embraced - when de well run dry. And so much is their dressing. Lol, nothing to impress or respect. Look at their views - weak, shallow and materialistic. Fools sports is not for the teachers or the school. 'Research' that. (Sorry for using the swear word kids.) The onus lies with the PARENTS and the community. Teachers can only do so much..."Teachers are called to be professionals!" I heard that today from the Minister of Education. I think teachers should 'Teach' the subject and leave. There's only so much they can do. Perhaps they should shun their responsibilities like everyone else. They are not the pillar of our society, not superheroes and should not be the ones to clean up the mess when everyone has grown 'wutless'. Parents, Government Officials, Politicians and Citizens should take stock...This is a sign before you. Look at the fields - Prepare to harvest what you have 'nurtured'.

Comment: I hope they realize that one day there will be no more sports day, therefore no place to dress up. If everybody have that mentality then sports day will no longer exist.
