Seeing some of the reputed schools in Chennai this was the question that sprung to my mind. Some of the schools that earlier had grounds for the students have built new blocks in the space. How will the students express themselves in the abscence of playing fields?
I have studied in a school where there are nearly 30 odd playgrounds. Looking back on those days I realize that most of my character developed in the playgrounds rather than classrooms. I was really pained at the trend these days in city schools of not having playgrounds. Does this happen due to high cost of real estate or has the basic mind set of the people changed? Do the parents and educators increasingly think that having playgrounds is not necessary in a school??
