They'd have to tear down some buildings... I was shocked at the bleakness of the whole thing. It is a really old school. I have heard good things about it but cannot get past the fact that there is really nowhere outside for the kids to go.
Yes but it is really small and I assume some people park there. I may be wrong though. I will have to see it on a regular school day. I have only seen it after hours and on weekends. I assume the employees park there.
I think there is a contest going on that will give three schools here playgrounds. I wish this place was in the running.
Isn't a lot of kindergarten and elementary school about play? I really am stumped here on this one. I did not realize there were so many elementary schools with no play space but a lot of them around here have nothing.
Play, yes. But not specifically outside play, especially not in an urban situation. A lot of "play" happens in the classroom. And I will also say... there's a fair bit of play time in kindergarten, but by first grade its cut back sharply, in my experience.
I don't really remember elementary school other than moving during the first grade and listening to books on tape but I do remember all the playgrounds. haha. Perhaps they were detrimental to my education.
I grew up in a small town and moved to the city so I guess that is one drawback. No playgrounds.
Maybe because I am Canadian and we have universal education and all schools have playgrounds, but I think I would go playground because I could home school my kid in some extra things or put them in an evening activitiy to even it out.
