uhhhh...dont their parents pay property tax....that supports the park?
That’s just mean-spirited.
I wonder if there are baseball fields in these parks?
Yes, they do.
The parents pay property taxes, and SCHOOL TAXES for schools their kids don’t even use. This is just the gubment spiting those who won’t put their kids in their indoctrination centers, nothing more.
They should also ban people from driving on roads, that will save them some maintenance cost for public resources.
So let the kids play at city hall.
Snort. The prohibitively high cost of mulch!
Those kids will see firsthand the power of government in their lives and will resent it for the rest of it.................
This wouldn’t stand the test in court.
Obviously bureaucracy but I don’t know of any school that lets the kids off school grounds for recess. Most schools nowadays don’t allow kids off school grounds even for lunch break.
There aren’t any school grounds. They are in the middle of Kensington.
No campus at all??
There is a small patch of lawn in front of one of the buildings. There is no school yard.
I saw a segment about this on the local news last night. Apparently one of the complaints from residents was that the schoolkids weren’t being supervised and were “running roughshod” over the preschoolers already there in the park.
It could just be snitty spitefulness by Montgomery County re private schools, but I’d be willing to bet most of the parents sending their kids to this school are as liberal as they come.
Sure, it’s a public park and is paid for by tax dollars but it wasn’t put there to provide a playground for the school. If the school wants a playground, they should build their own. Imagine the law suits if a student gets hurt. Or what if a car hits a student crossing the road to the park. I can see the headlines now if some sicko grabs a kid at the park when the kid should have been on “safer” school property. No, there’s too many problems. Little kids shouldn’t leave school grounds during the day.
it kinda sucks, but hard lessons will be remembered.
Given your concerns, no one should be allowed to use the park.
