    Lets see… The average weight of a 5′ 12 year old is about 80-95 lbs – 34 of them makes 3000 lbs… (and I’m guessing, based on the statistics on American children… we can bump that up 10-15 lbs a piece for another 500lbs?)

    What kind of an Einstein moment did the “photographer” or teacher have(or one in the same) to think that was a good idea????

    I assume this wasn’t the physics teacher that dreamt up this fiasco

    I can almost hear the nashing of teeth already. It’s a Jewish school and it was cited for failure to maintain the place. Who ya gonna sue now? Sidewalk grates aren’t engineered to hold that much weight under any circumstance.
