Nothing new there...the elementary school that I attended in the 50's
and 50's couldn't pay their liability insurance for 3 years
straight...couldn't use the playground, play any running or ball games.
We were allowed to play jumprope guess no one thought of the
straggling factor...kids didn't normally kill other kids back then...)
They took the teeters off the totter, unhooked the swings and chained
off the slide. They chained the merry-go-round so it was
stationary...was a bummer...recess was boting as heck...
