[quote=Anonymous]I'm figuring OP and all the posters so far have elementary aged kids. My kid's in middle school this year and birthday treats are not allowed (and nothing else either, I assume). So, folks, this'll be a moot point pretty soon. Hooray!

To the OP: Stick to your guns. Your child will not be deprived if there is no class-wide treat. Sure, some child might expect it from your kid and ask why his or her mom didn't send in cupcakes. If more parents just said no to sending in treats, kids wouldn't learn to expect it whenever another kid has a birthday looming. I like the idea of sending in fun pencils for everyone--useful, and lasts a lot longer, and the kids can remember the birthday child when they use the pencil.

To the person who posted that schools are "sucking all the fun" out of childhood with no-treat policies, please! There are plenty of other ways to have fun that don't involve being one of 20 to 30 excess sugar snacks each school year. Take the time and energy you'd use to make (or even buy) cupcakes and make your kid a great birthday cake instead, and have it with your family. [/quote]
