I'd hate it if she weren't allowed on the monkey bars at school. That seems... Wow. [/quote]

This was a great source of frustration for 5yo DD, who learned to do the monkey bars in 10 minutes at the playground  before her school's open house, but then wasn't allowed to use them throughout kindergarten. Fairfax. :-([/quote]

Yes, we had this experience, too, in MoCo... kind of. My DD got all of DH's athletic genes and mastered monkey bars at about 3.5 or so. Her school didn't allow Kindergarteners on the more advanced monkey bars (they're kind of like rings). I know accidents happen, but I'm of the general belief that kids won't get [i]themselves[/i] on equipment they can't generally handle. I think the problem with that is it's kind of a Platonic ideal... a lot of kids have been put on or "helped" with equipment that they [i]can't[/i] handle, their whole lives. I do think that's the cause of a lot of issues. So, I guess I get it.   [/quote]
