There is a fundamental issue with how facilities are available for kids to actually learn things and that is a funding issue (again).

I remember being able to stay in centre 2000 all day and just play. I never had formal swimming lessons but learnt to swim just by being in the water and working it out by watching older people and copying them. Now swimming pools are timed sessions with segregation in the pools (ie lane swimming, class areas etc) and there isn't the opportunity for a lot of kids to just play.

I know this is just a symptom of places trying to be profitable.

We also have a whole host of new rules and regulations compared to when I was a kid but never seem to fund the places so that they can be compliant properly.

A school should never have to compromise on it's ability to teach children due to costs and that's a failure on the government.
 
Not sure there were many days above 35 degrees during term time 15+ years ago?

I finished school in 2010 and the hottest summer I cam remember from yoof is 2003 and that was during the school holidays.
