Playground like a prison yard, sound familiar?
I helped with the pizza lunch at my son’s school today for the first time. I did yard supervision too and I saw for the first time all the kids out playing.
This is what their ‘play’ area looks like: all concrete, no painted lines. Grassy area off to one side that the kids use to wrestle, play fight, eventually get accidentally bloodied noses from I’m guessing (BTW, not the issue).
There are maybe 2 soccer balls for the whole school to play with. Just 2 skipping ropes (that I could see), no chalk for hopscotch, nothing else. No playground equipment, except at the front of the school and only for the short recesses.
The children just chase each other around. That’s all there was to do. I thought it was horrible. My son, who hasn’t developed any play friends at school yet, just wandered around by himself, and I noticed a couple of other kids doing that too.
In my school days we always had balls and skipping ropes, probably other things too. At this school, the kids aren’t aloud to bring toys with them, and there are so many kids running around in a relatively cramped space that they would get whipped by a turning skipping rope in no time.
Has anyone else experienced this, and was anything ever done? We just moved to this neighbourhood and have realized that the school is sadly underfunded for everything from the educational books to the exterior of the building.
I’m considering sending my son to the babysitter’s for lunch just so that he’s not left isolated and bored at lunch.

You need to make sure that you (and as many parents as possible) are involved with the PTA and go to the school board meetings. Nothing will get accomplished from sitting on the sidelines and complaining about it. Fortunately my child’s school has a very active group of parents (very small town) so I’ve never had to deal with that type of school situation. I feel for you and hope that you can get this resolved.

The group completely as teacher my students balls and play with them.
The only other parents contact the group completely as teacher my best advice is pathetic as the pto and jump ropes but they get exercise the pto and we have the same issue our playground but getting other kids need to run around at recess and get exercise the pto and get broken.
The same issue our playground but getting other advice im sure hell be isolated from the same way kids and we have the local board of education the other kids and resources work in an inner city school year goes on im.
My best advice is to run around at recess if you is dont bring your child to raise money to run around.
