[quote=Anonymous]Just don't do everything. Pick and choose what you do. Every activity like the "bring in a flower day" will have anywhere from about 25-75% of the class doing it. Your kid will almost never be "the only kid" who didn't do X. If it is an actual assignment or a class project that they are doing, the teacher will send information home or send out an email to the parents. We do the stuff where there is a class assignment and then we pick and choose through the rest of the stuff. I talk with my kids about the things like "spirit week" where they do something every day. They pick the ones that they want to participate in (usually they'll pick 1 or 2 days out of the week that have a theme they want to follow and skip the rest). [/quote]
