[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 451824"] I hate the mulch. Nasty stuff. Harder to get out of socks and cuffs than sand ever was, plus when it's dragged home it gets everywhere and then EVERYONE get splinters. It hoovers so much I won't take her to a playground that doesn't have sand at this point. Don't even get me started on the shredded rubber stuff and what that does to clothes plus friction burn. A lot of the rest has me doing flashbacks to George Carlin's passive eugenics bit. "The kid that swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own." Not sure about other places, but here (for liability reasons) they won't just turn the kids loose from school to bus, ride, walk, etc. I signed her up for school today and there was a permission slip for allowing your kid to walk home. I was floored. If you pick up your kid (at this school, not her old one) you have to come inside the building and sign that you picked them up. I now have to walk her into the before school program and sign her in, can't just let her walk the 20 feet between the truck and the door anymore. WTF. [/QUOTE]
