Title: Whilst walking to collect the car, part 2
Post by: TheBoy on 28 February 2018, 18:09:57
Walking past the secondary school (chuckling at an E Class not able to get moving), I notice the entire playground is now a carpark, instead of netball markings, just parking spaces.

I know there was a 2nd playground at the front of the school, but as I walked past that, I notice that had been converted to a carpark. And the old staff carpark still a carpark.


Where do the kids play now at break time?


Not a dig at teachers or TAs (a new invention since I last went to school), just a period of reflection on modern society...

They play indoors now, on computers, TB, just as they do at home.

I think snowflakes are now allergic to falling onto tarmac and cutting their heads open.  :-\

Never seemed to cause any harm in our day... ::)

You say all that, but the local infant and primary school that, one of my grand children goes to, regularly have all the kids out on the playground just after 0900 to do exercises, or what they call "moving and shaking".  They do this in all weathers, including the last two mornings when snow and ice was on the ground and it was well into minus temperatures! :o :o :o

Even when I went to school that never happened, and we would be kept inside in the warm 8) 8) ;)

I thought playgrounds in the winter were for compressing the snow into ice so it was a long slide. :) :) :) Great fun, a few bumps and bruises for a few fallers but never any serious injuries. :y :y :y
