[quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up we did [b]not [/b]dress up in school for Halloween. I think we probably had a Halloween party and made masks or something at school--but we did not wear costumes from home to school. We certainly did crafts, etc. for Halloween, however. Later, when I taught school in another area, dressing up for Halloween was a given. As a teacher it was my favorite holiday to celebrate--easy, no feelings hurt, and, it never occurred to me that it had religious connotations (this was quite some time ago) We decorated, made tissue paper ghosts with lollipops, etc. I always had extra costume stuff on hand in case a child did not come dressed up. Yes, it was disruptive--but, in those days, teachers were allowed to let the kids have fun at school. Not so sure that is any longer the case.[/quote]
