[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with doing the political causes thing at school and i also disagree with doing halloween at school. Leave that for after. [/quote]

Especially in elementary school.  That’s ridiculous.

Six year olds should ‘pick a cause’?  Not appropriate.

Fine if they want to do this in MS. [/quote]

Why is it ridiculous?

At six, my kid would have picked the rescue that we got our dog from, or the butterfly garden because he likes to run around there.  It's totally appropriate for 6 year olds to know that things they value are funded by donations.  [/quote]

At 6, most kids don't know about politics and my kid wouldn't have known about donations or causes as its not appropriate for  6 year old.  The causes thing is dumb.  Dress your kid in halloween colors or get a halloween shirt at target or children's place and be done with it.[/quote]

There are no 6 year olds at CCES, they are all 3rd - 5th graders. They absolutely know about supporting a cause and what they personally care about. The causes aren’t necessarily political, either. I’m sure with how charged up everyone was about indoor lunch, it seemed wise to adjust the plan this year from unmasked  class sugar fest parties with various parents in attendance.  I have kids at the school and I am generally cynical in life, but I don’t think this idea is bad or half baked. [/quote]
