    I believe some competition can definitely be useful, but there is a limit to that. A lot of pupils simply can't keep up with competitive elements at school, causing their motivation to drop, making it even harder for them. Competition could be optional, for the pupils who like it, but I don't believe a large amount of the lessons should have a competitive element to them. In the end, as a pupil, you're going through school individually, you have to take tests on your own, your classmates aren't there to stir you up either.

    Competition has always been the main driver of evolution and progress; not just for humans, but for all other animals as well. When we are being challenged, we are forced to grow, to innovate, to struggle and become stronger. When the challenge is absent, on the other hand, then we become apathetic and indifferent; we stagnate and fall apart. 

    Schools without competition already exist: they are called home education. And in the vast majority of cases it turns out much less effective, than the regular school education.
