[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]earlier pp here. I'm not blowing it up, it has been blown up by the fact that there is a luncheon (all grade levels are assigned a category) PLUS, bring in something every day. I have more than one child. We were assigned flowers and tasty treats and office supplies and artwork and thank you notes for each of the days. Again, are my DC going to manage collecting these items, sending them in on the correct day? No. I am. Then don't do it, right? So now I'm in a position to explain to my young children that we are choosing not to participate. I'm happy to explain when our family has different POVs on real issues, but this feels unnecessary to set up parents like this.

How about a Teacher Aprreciation Day and people can do whatever they want. Why is it a week with strong "suggestions" for theme gifts. It's obnoxious.[/quote]
Oh dear god give it rest. Maybe you should have had less kids so the whole idea would not have stressed you out too much. Seriously, its one week.[/quote]

Wow. What in the world is your problem? One, it's "fewer" kids. Two, it does stress me out because it's important to be supportive of my kids and their school experience and this feels forced and over the top. Three, guessing you either don't have kids and like to troll for the nastiness of it or you lack sympathy for anyone who says a situation doesn't work for them. Would you say this to a single parent working multiple jobs who really can't make it out to get supplies for teacher Appreciation Week? What about those who are literally so cash strapped that their kids are left out of all the gift-giving? Do we really need to force a "teachable moment" on kids for this?[/quote]
Gosh!!!  Just shut the door!!!  You are soooo annoying.[/quote]

Feel bad for your kids if you have them. You're miserable.[/quote]

By the way, all the exclamation points and extra letters in the word "so" make you sound ignorant. I think you went to LESS English classes than I did.[/quote]
