Surely if you buy a house near a school you will expect noise at playtimes dinnertimes and going and leaving school times .. you dont expect quiet do you ....
The school has forked out for a soundproofing fence but they still complained .. money that could probably be better spent elsewhere... |
Lets look at this in context.
In my youth, when Caesar held Londinium, I went to a school at the end of a row of terrace houses. We played football in the yard.
School Rule was :- If you kicked the ball out of the grounds into the next door garden you took your chances on the benevolence of the neighbour and you assessed the risk on a daily basis.
Good mood - you got your ball back
Bad mood - he complained and you got detention/whacked
or you just didnt bother about getting the ball.
Then again in those days we didnt have the internet, sensationalising non-stories for bleeding heart socialists.
Those self same bleeding heart socialists who said:- corporal punishment is wrong, its child abuse!
You sow what you reap!
