[quote=Anonymous]Yea,h the Mt Pleasant listserv is about to have one of their periodic flareups, I think, over the bancroft playground.

I see both sides.  Aftercare is a thing, and the school has to do right by those kids, and the paid paid employees of aftercare.  Having the play area open to other's makes it harder on the after care teachers to keep track, and what parents let their kids do is probably different than what paid caregivers let the aftercare kids do.  We need after care for those parents that work and need that care.

from a parent who wants to take their kid there, segregating aftercare and non after care kids can be a shame in terms of losing out of friendships.  And the neighborhood has supported that Bancroft playground.

From what I see, I sincerely hope the Mt Pleasant activists stay out of this.  Bancroft is letting all kids on the playground for a short period after school, then reserving it for after care, for reasonable reasons.  That seems like a decent enough compromise.  [/quote]
