[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS: A always, B some years (depends on teachers), used to do C but stopped a couple years ago and I'm grateful because there are already too many "events" associated with Halloween and I don't need to also leave work even earlier in order to stand around while 300 kids saunter by in costumes.

Our school does often try to force a "dress as a book character" or "dress as a vocab word" rule but people disregard it if their kid just wants to go as Moana or Black Panther or whatever.[/quote]

lol did you even want kids? I think for most parents we actually enjoy being with our kids and seeing our kids. They’re not forced events, it’s parenting[/quote]

I love being a parent and enjoy planning my kids' costumes with them, taking them trick or treating, carving pumpkins, decorating our house, and handing out candy with them.

I do not enjoy standing around on the field at the school while every kid in school walks past. And where if I'm not there my kid will be bummed (because other parents are there). That's like the definition of a "forced event" and no, it's not "parenting."[/quote]

I think Halloween parades are cute for preschoolers and after that they are dumb. It's weird to put kids on display like that and yeah if it's any more than like 40 kids it's going to take forEVER. Not worth it.[/quote]
