[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like they are planning one at Wilson Wims ES. [/quote] They're in the middle of it. As a parent I don't like it. My kid is in K and totally focused on the prizes. Plus it seems like a lot of work on the teachers part to track progress and hand out the corresponding prizes. I also work in a high FARMS school and it kind of makes me mad that there is such a discrepancy regarding the haves and have nots. The school will make thousands from this which is great for my kid, but that creates a further divide between schools with PTAs who can raise tons of money and schools with PTAs who can't. Some of the things Wims says they'll do with the money are additional assemblies, author visits and teacher stipends for running clubs. My students won't get any of that and teachers at my school are pressured to run clubs with no stipend because the county doesn't provide them and our PTA surely can't. [/quote]
