[quote=Anonymous]I just received an automated call from the assistant principal.  It used to be anyone could play on the school playground after school.  Now they are banning everyone from the school playground after school except those enrolled in 1)the aftercare program and 2) after school activities which take place on the playground.

This is new.  My child has always played on the playground after school, in fact he is learning to ride his bicycle w/o training wheels on the school field on weekends or after school.

Are other schools this way?  The school in question is in a decent neighborhood in Silver Spring. There are portables on the playground that apparently middle schoolers hide between after hours. And middle schoolers take over the basketball courts after school.   I think they need to come up with another way than banning all children from the playground who would like to play after school.  I like my child to stay and play with friends after school.  There are usually many kids and their parents hanging out on the playground for the first 30 minutes after school.

You would think with kids getter fatter they would like to encourage outside play.
