[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discovery got a new playground because it was a NEW school. Just like Fleet will get a new playground. APS replaces playgrounds about every 20 years.

The slide was a stupid gimmick proposed by the architects and isn’t even used![/quote]

Don’t speak from ignorance. Have you have been to Discovery?  It isn’t just a new playground — it has about half a dozen play structures — ASFS had 1 for years, and just this year got one for K-2. Even Key with brand new playground probably has about a 1/3 of the volume of equipment that Discovery did.  [/quote]

No, all schools do not have the same facilities but why come down so hard because people at ASF want to keep the facilities they do have.  No, they do not have a luxury playground like other elementary schools.  No, they do not have multiple fancy art rooms like Discovery with 2 giant state of the art rooms and no one is chomping to take those away because the school was built in an area where it wasn't need so there is room for inequities like that to continue.  People at ASF want to keep their labs because that's what they have worked hard to integrate into their curriculum.  People at Key want to keep their very nice new playground - who could blame them.
