[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our K team tradition is always tie tying tshirts. Bless those K teachers…I cannot imagine the mess that must cause. 1st grade always does paper plate awards in class and a slideshow of pictures without parents. I teach middle school and we do a whole 8th grade awards assembly with parents that is long and I think unnecessary.

Do whatever as a teacher that will not involve a ton of stress and show on your part but will make kids smile getting off the bus. Simple is sometimes better. And I definitely do not need to be invited to the celebration. [/quote]

Tie-dying is a disaster.  Wastes a usable shirt, may damage clothes that are worn during the process, and the shirts are not safe to wash with other clothes for a long time.

The 60s are over.  Jerry Garcia is dead.  Tiedying should only be done at home by those who absolutely can't part with the craft.

My teen was a counselor at a zoo last year.  I had to buy him a new set of khaki shorts per uniform regs.  1st day of counselor training, the counselors made tiedye shirts to wear at camp as a bonding activity.  He came home with a tiedye splotch near the cuff that never came off.  The tiedye he chose was dark green, and the shirt was brought home sopping in a ziploc for final processing.

One of the only times in my life I pulled the "not in my house card."  Home made tie dye goes straight to the trash at my house.[/quote]
