Insanity
I can’t help feeling that this could be the most insane thing I read about all year.
Of course schools need playgrounds, schools should not be a form of imprisonment - it’s bad enough that most office workers don’t get enough exercise, without getting children into bad habits that early. It seems like a form of child abuse, not to mention a recipe for disaster.

It’s a city academy. The whole scheme is wrong in so many ways that I don’t know where to start. I do know, however, that my school is blighted, due to overexpansion, by a lack of outdoor space for play. Children have huge reserves of energy and they need time and space to let off steam.
