[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad the teacher chimed in! Now, if more teachers would control their classrooms, make policy, and enforce, all would be better. Yeah, just commenting on the birthday celebration issue but it starts here. Run the classroom as you see fit, teachers.[/quote]

I'm the teacher who commented before. Just wanted to add that while most parents followed the policy there were 2 that sent their kids in with treats anyway. It was very frustrating.  We did not have a class party those days but the kids gave out what they brought at dismissal.  I was very annoyed at the entitled parents who disregarded the rule. Next year I will be even firmer about it and warn the parents that if they send in treats, the treats will be sent back home with the kids. [/quote]

No, you throw them out.  Handing out the treats at dismissal is worse than serving them.  So, the parents still get reinforced for sending them in, the kids whose parents follow rules still get hurt, and then the allergenic foods are on the bus where cleaning is a bigger issue, there is less supervision to catch an allergic reaction, etc. . .

Call the parents and tell them you will store the treats until the end of the day and they can pick them up, or they will be discarded at dismissal.
