[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't like this because invariably there will be children who never get their lockers decorated, and those children will feel left out. And for some of those children it won't really matter much (because their parents shower attention on them in other ways), but for a few it will matter because they never get that kind of attention, and this will be just one more way they see that they get the short end of the stick in life. Since there are absolutely no downsides to discontinuing this practice, why not stop it if it makes even just a few children feel bad?[/quote]

Agree 100%. My kids go to school in S Arlington and I've never heard of this locker decorating nonsense. I used to be a teacher and I know if this was a tradition at my school if find it obnoxious and disruptive. [b]Knowing moms in N Arl I bet it's also a big competition.[/b] [/quote]

And how many moms in N Arlington do you know, and what would possibly possess you to make this remark?[/quote]

A heck of a lot. We used to do the Lee Center playgroup as well as multiple other classes in N Arl and the moms are competitive and judgy. It's one of the reasons we moved to S. Arl. [/quote]

Seriously? Wow. You allowed yourself to be influenced into moving to a less desirable place like that?[/quote]
