Take your point on the sports - but I was discussing pride in general about all sports.

But schools are NOT babysitters and it is parents responsibilities to look after their children. You get this complaint when teacher have off sites, courses etc and/or close schools for other reasons that parents complain that they have to take time of to mind their children. Reality check - children are parents responsibility not teachers
