Should I take this as evidence of "dark forces" ruining my childhood, or simply accept that we did better things at sports day (Stuff that grown ups do in the olympics like running, jumping and throwing). My youngest son's primary school has a climbing setup in the playground. The kids enjoy it but it accommodates about 8 kids at one time (from a school of 400). I wonder whether this is an appropriate allocation of the playground space. Its location has displaced a flat grassed area where upwards of 40 children used to play football.

I complained to the council, the school, and it has now been over a year and nothing gets done. There are always two sides to each coin.

The mere fact that children are free to play, fear for their health and safety should not be a hindrance for them to enjoy their childhood. Good supervision should be properly be applied instead. <a href="http://www.dryforlife.co.uk" rel="nofollow">bladder weakness</a> Preventing children to do their usual play like climbing is no longer healthy.
