[quote=Anonymous]Well, they got rid of the original playground on the school site to add a second building (because more bodies = more revenue, and playgrounds don't bring in money) so they went for many years without any onsite play equipment at all. And there was little room left for playground equipment after that.

It took a long time to walk young children to the nearby city parks, and the classes often had to abort their play mission because of other activity going on the public parks (much of which was pretty unsavory) So for years, there was very little active play at the school.

It took a long time to raise money and then build the playground because the equipment ungodly expensive and it was very specialized. Parents were responsible for raising the money, but they had very little say in what was purchased.

The school seemed more focused on the look of the MV "brand" -- like building a big, crazy expensive globe-shaped climber ("the mundo")-- than on if the equipment was actually fun for the kids.

The Mundo to be re-installed because there were issues with the first one they built.

Shall I continue?
