[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   Every year we get guidelines for Valentine's Day boxes that are so detailed it's insane. It is made clear this is voluntary, but something every kid must do. These kids have a lot of homework and tests. Not every kid enjoys making a box that must be:

-Shoe box completely covered with white people-nothing showing through (Neither I nor either of my children have a talent for covering shoe boxes with paper)
-Slot big enough for cards must be cut (How about they be allowed to open the shoebox for cards?!)
-Decorations must involve (fill in blank) theme
-Please use multiple colors
-Name must be prominent in contrasting color

How about you let kids bring in brown lunch bags and decorate only if they chose. How about the kid write his/her name on a shoebox and let friends open said shoebox and insert card rather than have my child stab herself trying to create the right size slot.

It's Valentine's day. It should be fun. No need to be so controlling. I'm all for insisting if you give cards, you must give to everyone. I'm even fine with no candy. Just don't create busywork!

Vent over.

Oh man, I can't even imagine this.
