Kids being kids, they don't care if the balls are clean or dirty,
they don't care if the balls hit the fluorescent tubes and smashing
them, they run away at the first spot of trouble. So in such a
situation, what do YOU say?
I'd agree that there is insufficient play areas, I just don't agree
that the void deck is the place for ball games, especially but kids
who can't aim a ball to save their life.
On the same side of the argument, a soccer game is not the end-all
in this argument. What if kids wish to play squash, or rugby, or
tennis? Wouldn't you agree that there are other proper places to
play this game?[/b]
Like i said, build adequate facilities, open the school fields
BEFORE we decided to put nails on walls.
If u can see the situation right now, where can the kids go?
And poor neighbourhood kids don't play rugby, tennis or squash i
can assure you that.
