[quote=Anonymous]....and every parent of every generation before us is rolling in their grave laughing. I do, truly, appreciate the beauty of outdoor play and schools who encourage it, but expensive playgrounds (I’m looking at you Beauvoir) are a sign to me that our society’s priorities are incredibly misaligned. The world used to be a child’s playground. Now we are spending thousands and millions to REPLICATE the world in play structures. Not only is it artificial and forced, it seems like a tremendous waste of resources. Our species has really painted ourselves into a corner. We pay mega bucks to artificially replicate a tree fall, with none of the actual lessons in gravity and physics (cause it’s bolted together) or benefits to wildlife or plants, and then pay ourselves on the back for providing fake nature to our kids with our hard earned big law salaries.
