[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, Boosterthon gave me the same icky feelings it gave the parents of my students. Worse still, the Boosterthon staff were in my classroom 1-2x/day to “encourage” the kids and give them prizes. I’d have to give up instruction for the 10 minutes they were there with the kids, and I never knew the exact timing. After the Boosterthon staff left the room, I’d be stuck trying to refocus kids who had spent 1/5 of class time getting hyped up with loud music, cheering, and prizes. It was new administrators who invited Boosterthon to campus where I worked, not the PTA. In my opinion, it made the brand new head and assistant head look ridiculous without increasing total donations to the school that year.[/quote]
