[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting kids to show up on the first day is a BIG deal for a lot of schools in DC. You'd be shocked how many families don't come until after Labor Day, and how hard that is for teachers and classmates. If a prize (which is probably like a pencil or a t-shirt or something, and may have been donated) gets kids to school from the start, then it's worth it. I know you're in a bubble in Ward 3, but realize that the vast majority of DC students and their families lead a really different life than you, and DCPS is focused on a) the majority/average of their students and b) the ones who need the most help. So rather than getting all worked up every time DCPS does something that doesn't make sense to you and assuming you know best, maybe stop to think about why it could make sense for them to do what they did for families facing quite different situations than your own.[/quote] I'd rather see that money spent towards REAL assistance in that case.
