[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today my child was asked to bring in a single flower. Yesterday wear green. Over the years, I can think of countless things that are requested that are such a huge hassle and pain in the butt. We had to detour 20 min in the morning to buy this flower. I could have and should have just blown off the request but I didn’t want my kid to be the kid who didn’t bring one.

I don’t mind as much if we have notice and can order in advance. Want some stickers for Valentine’s Day? Fine.

I especially hate spirit week where it is daily. Twin day is the absolute worst. Or wear your favorite baseball team. Rant over.[/quote]

I have straight up said to the teacher that I am happy to participate and fulfill special requests but I need more than a 24 hours notice for these things or I'm not doing it

My daughter's school really loves Spirit day for some reason during virtual we had a about one spirit day a week just because the principal liked it so much and it was just ridiculous and just stopped being fun and just became another thing that people would ignore because you can't keep up with it. I agree that a lot of these spirit days that are thought up by adults don't think through the work that goes through coming up with the special outfit. Hat  day is fine. Something complicated that I can't figure out at the last minute not going to do it[/quote]
