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...

Doesn't do any good anyway. Kids will find ways to get
hurt. I got a
spiral fracture of the tibia in grade 3, in the sand pit.
Course it
took two other kids swinging me by the feet and hands to
see how far
they could toss me. ;-o Guess my mom should have sued
and I'd be
rich(er) now. (gr)


Is tree climbing illegal yet? I know tree *hugging* is
''in'' with the libs.
