Jungle Edge Respect and Risk Plan
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Every tropical school has an edge where the tidy part stops. This sheet takes it seriously rather than fencing it off.
What lives there, what to avoid, what is fine, and what rules would let children use it safely. The children write the rules.
The page has the survey frame, the hazard categories, and a rules drafting box. Rules written by children and agreed with staff get followed far better than rules issued. Ours produced a shoes on rule and a stay in pairs rule, both sensible, both still in force years later.
