[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the focus have to be on the parent? Why can't it be about...the student and his/her learning??? At our school we have Poetry Cafe where kids can invite whomever they want to share their poems. The teacher has some cookies and punch. And we have an art show. And there's a science fair. In third grade, the kids do a wax museum where they dress us as a famous person. My point is that school is about learning. Keep it on that, not parents of one gender and overly sugared bakery products.[/quote]

This.  Just have an event where the kids show off their work, and let them invite whatever adults they want to join in.  I just think these parental pastry days are pointless.  [/quote]

+1  Our school doesn't do any of these mom/dad days and I've never felt we're lacking anything.  There are actually very few things that parents are invited to attend during the school day, maybe at most 1-2 per year per grade.  Because our school respects the fact that most parents are at work during the day.[/quote]
