We did not have swing sets at our school. We had one set of monkey bars on one side of the school and one set of monkey bars on the other side of the school. There was a “black top” area where we played games that required a hard surface. We had a baseball field backstop, too. That’s it. Teachers actually made up games for us to play. No equipment necessary other than balls. If we wanted to swing, we had to walk to a neighborhood park. Amazing how we survived.
Meanwhile,it is just fine for children to suffer brain damage at the hands of incompetent union teachers.
Good Gravy Sakes Alive. I just can’t stand it. Lawsuits...implies responsibility and negligence.
I think people should just keep their kids at home on down pillows and carry them from room to room. That way they will never get hurt.
shoot all the lawyers.
Jump ropes are next, but not to worry - when the kids grow up, they can participate in legalized gambling, take medical marijuana, and engage in sexual promiscuity and a variety of high-risk behaviors.
We were warned, of course; Aldous Huxley foresaw it all. Too bad no one paid any attention.
When I was in school, the swing sets, and monkey bars all had a nice soft concrete pad beneath them. I managed to survive.
