[quote=Anonymous]The playground at my kids' school (a Title 1 school that would like send a good number of DCUMs scurrying to private school) does not have a fence.  I see no need for a fence.  The kids are always monitored on the playground by at least one teacher for each class out there.  A stranger trying to lure a child would be obvious as would a child wandering away - and there's always a head count before the kids go back into school.  I'm not hearing anything in the argument for a fence a Haycock that seems compelling.  Certainly a school like mine in the neighborhood that it's in would be more worthy of one like Haycock (and no, I'm not jealous.  We love our school and appreciate the diversity and all the additional support that comes with being at a Title 1 school).

If you're going to fence Haycock then all playgrounds should be fenced.  The fence would have to encompass a huge area since the kids should also still be able to play in the fields.  That would be really expensive and I don't think it makes sense.  I'd rather the money be used for other things.[/quote]
