[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are always welcome at Eaton open houses. We like kids. [/quote]

All schools like kids.  All incoming and prospective parents don't like [i]your[/i] kid.  We don't know you, we don't want the distractions, and we can tell you automatically think your special snowflake and your personal circumstances make you above the rules.

So once your kid starts school, will you be working with the PTA to fundraise to provide childcare during open houses?

Or maybe there are some families you just don't want at your school. Single parent families, families where one spouse travels or is deployed, families where parents work shifts to avoid daycare costs ...

Seriously. To assume that people bring their children to open houses (and hell, this is reflective of a general attitude that parents are "entitled" and have "snowflakes" should they dare to appear with children in public) reflects a whole lot of unexamined privilege about how and where childcare is available and who cares for children.

No, but I support childcare during PTA meetings.

If you aren't organized enough to get an hour's worth of childcare figured out, then no, I'd rather you not come to our school.[/quote]
And now the truth comes out that you just don't like the poors. I brought my toddler and newborn to an OH today and I hope you were there and I hope it bothered you. I SAH so suck it. [/quote]
