[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care who contributes or helps out, but I am glad many of the joyless automatons in this thread aren't the ones running the school or the PTA or volunteering. A 45 minute party every 6 weeks (on average) is not going to cause an overload of homework and a dent in education. This is such a slippery slope fallacy it is unbelievable. What these events do do is give these kids a much needed mental break. School should not be a gulag for young ones, sorry.Most of the kids I know look forward to 100 day or Dr Seuss week or the holiday party or Colonial Day so that they can get a break from routine and try different activities. They need this break, and frankly, given the high stakes track of education these days, they deserve it.[/quote] Yes, they enjoy it. They're kids. School is for them. This thread is about adults and the way some of them can ruin participating in these events for other adults (to put a spin on OP's version).[/quote]
