[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]2. Why can't Bancroft allow children under the age of 6 ---who are accompanied by and supervised by an adult---come onto the playground to use the toddler playground (there are actually three separate playground areas at Bancroft---so it actually wouldn't be too difficult to cordon off one portion of the playground for neighborhood use). It's really the toddlers we're talking about here---elementary school age kids are usually off at activities or doing homework. [/quote]

Until one of those 3 yo in aftercare from PS3, who has a right to be there, runs into your kid, and you scream about lack of supervision.  Oh, what's that?  You'll keep an eve on your kid, and make sure the other kids play nice?  So a private citizen will act as an authority figure to kids in DCPS aftercare.

It simply can't be that you can't see the problems with this.

I get that it stinks, and I get that you were used to going to the playground.  But at bottom, this is a school prohibiting outsiders from using school facilities at the same time it is responsible for kids using those facilities.  That is unquestionably reasonable, and it's absurd that some other state of affairs has been allowed to continue for any length of time.

Yet another difference between schools like Mann and schools like Bancroft...[/quote]
