[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a parent op? Kids need to run around and move during the day. It's not good for anyone to sit still all day long, especially kids.[/quote]

OP here. I have children, 4, 6 and 8... I am not suggesting that they sit all day. Outside time or time to move around is fine. Why is a playground necessary for that[/quote]

Well, most schools that don't have playgrounds also don't have outdoor space... Are you imagining French gardens attached to these schools or something? Also, playgrounds allow kids a variety of ways to play and use all their muscle groups in a way a blacktop -- if they had one -- doesn't.[/quote]

You have a point about no playground = no outside space. however, one of the schools on my list for next year has outside space with no playground (MV) and that seems to be a big deal... [/quote]

If the school I were considering had a big park but no play structure, that wouldn't bother me. But if its has blacktops - hot and not great for stimulating exercise. [/quote]
