I actually disagree on this Ammi, my daughter's school yard is very easily accessible and I wouldn't have them change it, in fact I'd find it quite depressing if they did. I sadly think the high fences and security doors are somewhat of an illusion, designed to make parents "feel like" their kids are safer when in reality it makes very little difference security wise - if someone is determined to commit a crime like that, a fence and a door isn't going to stop them. And I think the harm done by having kids grow up in mini-prisons surrounded by barbed wire isn't yet fully understood.
