[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps it's not just a matter of the blacktop surface itself, but also the pathway the children take to get to such area. When my children were in elementary school, they had to walk around the building on the grass to get to the playground, and I wouldn't have wanted them walking through mud to get there.

It is going to be muddy for the next 2 weeks. Heck most of March/April it is muddy.   Put your little snowflake in play clothes and boots.  [b]There is no way kids should be inside everyday because of a little mud[/b].  [/quote]

+100.  Think about what you said for 1 second.  Sad state of affairs that you don't want kids outside at all in this weather bc of a little bit of mud?!  [/quote]

The issue is with all of the mud that is tracked into the building when the kids come back inside. It's not as simple as vacuuming. It's a very large mess and it takes quite some time to clean. We sit on the floor in the classroom all throughout the day, and sitting on a dirty, mud covered floor is a problem. The last time we had a fire drill, the kids' shoes were covered in mud from walking across the field. Upon returning to our classroom, I had them all take off their shoes and line them up outside of our classroom door. Not the best situation, but I would rather have kids in socks as opposed to mud EVERYWHERE.[/quote]
