[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL, I just got an email about this today from my kid’s MS PTA.  Happy to contribute a pie and hope someone takes it.

Not sure why there are so many people on this thread trying to bring such negativity about something well-intentioned and sweet.

Some people are just looking for sh%t to be mad about or to complaint about.  OP included.[/quote]

I’m OP and I’m honestly not looking to stir sh-t.  I’m a big supporter of both the teaching staff and the PTA.  The snacks at teacher training day I get—I was just honestly curious about whether teachers like the pie thing or whether this one was kind of a waste.  Seems like lots of people do like it!  Our school is offering SSL hours for kids who bake them….based on responses I will not encourage my kid to do this.  [/quote]

“Don’t bother baking a pie for ssl hours, Larla…because some teachers might not want one.”

“And…so what? Easy ssl hours and maybe someone will actually take my pie and enjoy it. You’re so negative, mom.”[/quote]

Well, the point of service is that the recipient should actually want it.  Baking pies for people who don’t want a pie made by an 11 year old strikes me like those service projects sending wealthy kids into poor neighborhoods to do stuff that no one asked them to do just so they can check a “service” box for school, church or applications.  We often cook for homeless shelters that do want home made items and are pretty specific about what they want.  [/quote]

But some teachers actually do appreciate it.

I encourage all mcps teachers to tell your students what kind of pie you like. Perhaps do a quick writing assignment on your favorite thanksgiving desserts? Perhaps do a graphing exercise as you tally up votes for best pies? Perhaps a measuring unit with recipes?

I mean, who doesn’t like thanksgiving desserts? [/quote]
