[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here from a Title One school. What's wrong with a Back to School popsicle pool party at a swim club for the members/guests of the swim club? If it is in place of an open event held previously for everyone, that is not cool. Does the school host their own BTS event? If not, why not?[/quote]

The concern is its sponsored by the school for members only so non-member kids cannot attend.  Gross.[/quote]

I'm the OP.

Yes, I guess that is my issue.  Seems a little 'gross' that only members of the Swim Club can attend.  It sounds like they're very deliberately trying to leave out people who can't afford the Swim Club membership.  We've got a decent number of lower-income families at our school (of all races, so I don't think it's a race issue) that definitely can't afford to be members.  If it's supposed to be for kids to interact with their teachers, then this particular event is leaving out a good percentage of students.  [/quote]

Our school had popsicles at various swim clubs in the district but they also had it at the school park, it was open to everyone.  [/quote]
