I think that's a separate issue. PE, music, and art programs are the first to get cuts.
I think it's great that they encourage lower and safer equipment, there is no reason why play equipment should have hard edges. Maybe kids don't need the 10 ft slide I had on my playgrounds but be reasonable here, they can have a 6ft slide.
Kids have high energy and if they can't blow off steam it will come out during class time. Then they end up getting diagnosed ADHD and put on Ritilan. Wonderfull.
