[quote=Anonymous]Well, I am a "gentrifier," and personally don't think sugar or a little aftercare TV are that big a deal. I am definitely focused on bigger things such as outside fundraising. I try to listen more than I talk, be very sensitive and prioritize the needs of at-risk kids, and almost never go against what anyone wants to do to benefit that group. But ultimately, it's not like I'm an education policy expert. If there are other concerns of higher priority than what I bring up, I wouldn't be offended to have someone explain why. I try to be sensitive but I'm not a mind reader. And I do think there's a place for parent feedback about small issues too. It benefits all the kids to have better quality aftercare and food, especially the ones who are getting too much sugar and TV at home, so what is so bad about mentioning it? I certainly would not blow it out of proportion, and maybe there is a good reason that the yogurt is what it is. But caring about issues big and small is what makes for a great school. Sometimes it's the little things that show parents the school administration is really listening. All the parents matter.[/quote]
