[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, sorry for the delay, getting things finalized for my bestfriends 40th birthday. Anyhow, screen time is not one of the issues at our school. That was one posted who mentioned Dora.

On the fundraising point, most kids families can't afford $20 for a school t-shirt or $3 for a raffle ticket. Why not find cheaper options? One parent said " If a family has a cell phone, they can afford a shirt" Huh, what?

At one of our APPT meeting two familes had suggested pull out groups for their children as if the other students are behind. It's PK3 people!

A friend of mine at another EOTP school just put the icing on the cake. A parent at her DS school complained about the Trix yogurt that was served during breakfast. It's on the menu once a month! Feed your kids at home or don't let them eat it. Problem solved. I find most of the breakfast to be balanced although some items are a mystery.

$20 shirts at a Title 1 school is a bad idea. I understand that.

The Trix yogurt complaint is stupid. We've also heard parents complain about ordering pizza or a walk to McDobalds after a trip. Your kid is not so fragile that a McNugget is going to implode their digestive system. But yeah, I suppose you will no longer be able to claim that Larla has never eaten at McDobalds!

We are at one and DID suggest pullouts for our kid because at a certain point, if you're at the front end of the change, your kid might need some different attention. This has been the primary issue for us and will ultimately lead us to leave. You can't create on-level peers when there are none. And at Title 1 schools this is just more likely to happen. This isn't to say gentrifier kids are always the more advanced ones. Just that there will be a few and the schools aren't really set up to handle it, even if they do their best. It's not just about effort or also has to include peer exposure.
