[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to laugh out loud at the people with slides in their N. Arlington school who say it’s no big deal. You also probably think you deserve renovations already even though we haven’t got through fixing the S. Arlington schools that will never get a slide. You never get enough and you think you deserve it all. [/quote]

+1  This is the second year in a row my kids' school has had the same broken playground equipment.  It has never been fixed.  Sometimes it has caution tape on it, sometimes it doesn't.  There is one poor grassy patch that turns to dust a couple of months after school begins from over use.  This happens every year.  There is only enough space for one sport to happen at a time: soccer, or flag football, or baseball.  There isn't enough space for more than one of those games at the same time.  Each grade has a separate recess schedule, no overlap, because there is not enough outside space for more than one grade.

I've been to Discovery.  They playground isn't especially large and I don't know if they can use the beautiful soccer fields next door, but oh my what a BEAUTIFUL building.  I thought elementary schools like that only existed in movies (i.e. fantasy land).  Nope, but you do have to pay to live in N. Arlington for that.  How naive I was.[/quote]
