[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may seem frivolous to you, but as I stated, "it might work for some, but not us".  I grew up in a city where every school had a playground.  The conditions might be different but they had one.  I understand that every city is different in regards to space but it's a personal choice.  You don't have to like OUR decision but don't say it's frivolous because you don't agree.  It was a legit concern for us when we don't have to move our child into a school without a playground.  Now if our child was older than a toddler (pretty much) we more than likely wouldn't have any concerns but at this young age it is a concern for us.  I didn't bash the school or anyone for still choosing Breakthrough.  Just stated that we didn't and I hope we made someone happy that may not have another option.  [/quote]

+1. We didn't decline a spot, but we ranked Breakthough very low on our list for this reason, so we got in somewhere else. I just don't like the idea of 3yo crossing Georgia Ave on a daily basis.[/quote]

I wonder if those that have a concern about crossing GA avenue would've had same concern with being at CMI or MV when they were crossing 16th street to a small, dirty park.[/quote]

I'm the +1 PP above, and my answer is yes. I personally would avoid schools without an on-campus outdoor space if I can. I commend you for being more relaxed about that, but I'm not.[/quote]

PP again, I want to add, it's as much about the kids being off-campus on a daily basis as it is about crossing a busy street. I'd just be too worried that one wanders off or that protocol slips and one is forgotten (like at Franklin).[/quote]
