[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a working mom of two with my school volunteer time tied to my youngest child's preschool co-op, just want to say THANK YOU to the room moms (and dads). My child always enjoys the parties and I appreciate your time and effort. [/quote]

Personally I'd prefer the hour to be spent learning and not consuming sugar.[/quote]

I bet life in your house is amazing.

It's one hour...like Nell would say: "Gimme a break!"

[/quote]

One hour for each - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas / Holidays, Valentines Day, St Patrick's Day - etc etc etc

So not exactly one hour, more like one hour per MONTH which is still way too much sugar thanks

You stay in the 1970s if you feel comfortable there.[/quote]

Name your mcps school that allows parties for Christmas and St. Patricks day and thanksgiving?

Most schools have banned parties altogether. We're down to Halloween and Valentines Day on the elementary level (nothing in ms or HS).

[b]I was born in 74 and went to catholic school where we actually celebrated many more holidays and special events. I also had religion classes daily...and grammar (diagramming sentences starting in 4th grade), vocabulary homework, etc. Far less classroom instruction compared to what mcps does now ,when you take into consideration daily religion a Spanish class twice a week), and yet I received a far superior education. [/b]

Two holiday parties aren't going to adversely affect your kid's education. I promise. [/quote]

I was born in 1969. I went to public schools. We had a ton of parties for all sorts of things. We also had school Christmas play and school Easter play in ES. in PUBLIC SCHOOL!

Oh, and I diagrammed lots of sentences and had vocab homework, too. And wrote in cursive! Vocab, cursive handwriting, and diagramming sentences were all part of that generation.
