Controversies at Japanese schools

[edit]

I removed the following from the article.


Sports days at Japanese schools been particularly criticized for their apparently poor attention to student safety.

Sports day events are typically held in early September or late June (just after or just before the summer vacation/holiday), both particularly hot, humid months in many parts of Japan.

Sports days are often a week-long event at Japanese schools. Preparation typically begins on a Monday and continues until Saturday, with the sports day being held on the Sunday. During the week preceding the sports day, students have no regular classes, but practice their events throughout each day, culminating in a full dress-rehearsal the day before the event, which often includes performances by the school band and presentations by various school clubs as well as individual and group competitive events. These practices, and the sports days themselves, normally take place on the schools' fields, which provide little relief from the heat and sun. Each year, students collapse from heat exhaustion and/or dehydration and must be rushed to hospital.

Some schools have responded by scheduling their sports days during cooler months and by encouraging their students to drink water regularly.


The Japanese article ja:運動会 says the event occurs more often in the autumn (September to October), and next often in the spring (May to early June). The article for Health and Sports Day seems to confirm that too. --Kjoonlee 10:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure this was a good idea. Reverting back and adding new info instead. --Kjoonlee 10:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
