[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the main reasons for BTSN is that it's an opportunity for the entire school community to come together early in the year. People saying it's "pointless" are only thinking about it in terms of their specific kid or family. It's not really meant to be about individuals -- that's what P/T conferences are for. BTSN is about the entire school, it's a chance to reconnect with the school, see other families, get to know the next cohort of teachers collectively, etc. Traditionally, schools have two events each year that are meant to gather everyone at once -- BTSN and a spring fundraiser. There are of course events in between, but not everyone goes to sporting events, rallies, performances, etc. BTSN and an end-of-year fundraiser are meant to be community touch points. I do think it's sad people don't see it this way anymore.[/quote]
