[quote=Anonymous]To 4:02, well stated.  I'm PP "feed, clothe, supply..." above.

The level of entitlement is maddening and frustrating.  It seems that every year, there's yet another solution proposed, implemented, arranged...and then we sit back and watch bureaucracy at work and get further away from the schools' role of educating students.  We've emboldened and allowed lazy and neglectful parenting.

Don't have food to last the weekend?  Shove a huge ziplock of kid-prepared food into the student's backpack! Let's provide real-time translation at BTS Night; we'll just have these tables in the back for the parents and translators, never mind that we have three different languages being translated simultaneously.

The latest; let's maintain a clothing closet! All sizes, all kids, must include outerwear.  We have Art teachers pushing supply carts to classrooms, specialists literally working in converted closets, overcrowded classrooms, locked and carefully monitored teacher supply shelves/cabinets/space but sure, lets start a store. Latest suggestion is shoes! Boots! All sizes![/quote]
