ParticipantLOL, Kind of makes me glad I grew up back in the days when everyone had 5 kids and no one paid much attention to them LOL.
Most boomers grew up free range for the most part.

ParticipantProbably liability. Kids might be allergic to pesticides/herbicides used to maintain the grass.

One thing I noticed in San Diego is that you don’t see many kids walking to school outside of groups. In NYC and towns in NJ, kids walk (or even take public transit) by themselves.
Makes you think the kind of coddled babies that CA is raising.

It depends on which neighborhood you’re looking at. In my area, I see plenty of kids walking to and from school. In Elementary, the parent(s) walk to the kids and in Middle/High School, they walk/bike by themselves.November 9, 2015 at 5:27 PM #791122no_such_reality
ParticipantThe grass is probably 1/2 dead from water restrictions and the school is afraid it’ll turn to mud with the rain if the kids trample it to dust.
As for basketball, my guess is the court has to be shared with other activities that may need hardtop. Jump romp, chalk drawing or maybe even better, the new designated sitting area
November 9, 2015 at 7:07 PM #791124CoronitaParticipantNope. you are all wrong…
1. Kids can’t sit on the grass because their is a concern that the gophers will bite the kids and that there are bees that might sting the kids. Has anyone ever heard of being bitten by a gopher?
2. Full court basketball is restricted to 1 day, because they are concerned that in a highly competitive environment, kids might end up getting into a physical confrontation, so it has to be supervised by an adult, just in case.
Yeah… Must all elementary school gang members in Carmel Valley!
Well anyway, I’m walking to school with my kid. I better not sit on the grass, otherwise I might get ticketed!

ParticipantI have seen my cat eat an entire gopher completely inc. Fur.
But I have never been attacked by a gopher

This school is for castrated males…not pussies…testicle free zone. Is referring to eunuched untestosteroned policies misogynistic?
My kid was watching a cool episode of futurama,with a hard ass female military commander saying cliches in feminine, like ” those jerks really bust my vulva”…etc.
Seemed,relevant?

ParticipantThe former principal at Ashley Falls (now head of Technology for the district) compulsively makes rules of the kind you are describing. No one ever seems to put the brakes on this guy (unless he was following some other administrators rules). He opened back to school night last year with reminders about these picayune rules. There never seems to be an end.

I find the direction of some of these public school quite interesting. On one hand, you have Michele Obama going on tours telling educators they should encourage kids to get more fit and exercise more. On the other hand, you’ve got school administrators coming up with suck wacky rules, that hinder kids from being active.
November 9, 2015 at 10:01 PM #791131ParticipantIn general teachers ate a bunch of fat, stressed out, completely physically and,often mentally lame bunch of whiny ass losers.
This is just based on my observation of fat inert looking teachers over the years,who cannot even seem to drag their sorry pathetic carcasses to school for the 200 days it is in session. So many are constantly sick.
There should be a physical fitness component to bring an “educator”. I
My kid has one teacher who has been out about 1/4 of the term, stressed tired and sick. Pull it together!!!! Or take the,year off. I’m pretty sure he’s a faker.November 10, 2015 at 9:31 AM #791139Doofrat

And he just had almost 3 months off, and now he’ll get a week for Thanksgiving and a couple of weeks for Christmas.
November 10, 2015 at 9:47 AM #791142ParticipantAll joking aside, I dated a private school teacher who was trying to get certified for teaching in public schools. Private school was paying her about 40 grand a year, and she lived in an expensive part of NJ.
She had two masters’ degrees, spoke the languages she wanted to teach fluently (knowing one of them from childhood). Yet the certification process was still mind-numbingly bureaucratic, bordering on the insane.
If teachers are subjected to that level of crap at work as well as before employment, no wonder that many of them are sick and stressed.
And remember that the 180-200 days that school is in session is only a part of it. They still have to do grading, professional development, curriculum design, etc outside of school hours. Plus quite a few of them are roped into teaching summer school and things like that.
Unless you come from money, have no student loan debt, or are willing to put up with a lot of crap, public school teaching doesn’t seem like an easy business.
November 10, 2015 at 9:53 AM #791144Participantthe outside work can be streamlined. or it could be overwhelming.
any halfway intelligent person could get it pretty damn minimalized.
