I remember just after I left my elementary school, the new principle had the monkey bars removed because of safety concerns. Then the slides. All that remained were the swings. Recess must have been boring for those kids. It was the highlight of our days going on the swings and monkey bars. I remember how proud of myself I was for climbing to the top of the one set we had because I had been afraid of the height before that. Thinking about it though, we were setting ourselves up for quite the injury if we had fallen down from hanging upside down. Still, I think children should be allowed to be kids and play at recess. It gives them exercise that they need.
