[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Halloween is in the evening. 
Yes it’s cultural but has nothing to do with education. 
Keep them separate. [/quote]

That's not the tradition. In our culture we dress up for school, kids and teachers. We have parades and parties. That's American culture.[/quote]

At the elementary school level, there are often parades and parties, but not always, and it's definitely NOT the "American culture". American culture is going ToT in the evening and getting massive, unhealthy, levels of candy. There's much less candy in the UK.[/quote]

Um, who cares how they celebrate in the UK? We're talking about American traditions, American culture ****specifically****.

Trick or treating happens in the evening. School parties and parades happen during the day, at school. At least they used to.....[/quote]

Agree.  Even back in the deprived 70s, we had parties during the day.  Our schools still celebrate.  I wonder if there’re a some tipping point at which the school don’t think it’s worth the complaints from parents who are opposed?  [/quote]
