Ok, the background...so I take my 3yo to gymnastics on a Tuesday from 5pm-6pm, she's been going for a while now, it's held in a large gymnastics hall where there are multiple classes going on at the same time (there must be easily 100 children of varying ages in various groups at any one time) there are around 7-10 3yo's in my daughters class, which is taken by two young teenage girls (approx 17yo) though occasionally there is just one girl taking the class if the other is preparing for competitions or something.
So the 'manager' of this gymnastics centre, a middle aged fat man who potters about the place, has recently started saying that parents cannot go into the actual hall to drop off and collect their children, they must wait in the hallway outside, with multiple other parents (of older children), as it invalidates their insurance, Though parents are allowed in the changing rooms, which are located within the hall. The only parents that tend to come into the hall are those with the very young children like myself, but he expects us to wait in the hallway for our children to come out to us. Personally, on a parental level, I think this is absurd, and a little careless when it comes to children so young, I also think that the 'insurance' reason is somewhat exaggerated. But I was just wondering if I actually have an argument here...
I hope this makes sense...
