[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High FARMS school parent here. I've experienced things like when parents and students are told that soda isn't allowed in school at lunch, they will put soda in plastic water bottles for the kids and send them off to school  :evil:  :evil: Positively infuriating. [/quote]

It is and like I said earlier they don't understand why it is an issue. My parents would force feed my kid candy if I let them.

Well, I don't want my child exposed to other children who drink orange soda with their lunch every day. I don't want to SHELTER them from the fact that there are people who think that it is okay for their children to drink soda and juice all the time, either, but I don't want it in their face every day.

It is all of these LITTLE things that go unspoken that add up and make it tough to be a parent of a student at a higher FARMS school. [/quote]

I agree and I am Hispanic and probably better educated than you. I don't mind that people don't want their kids exposed to bad habits or around kids that are not being raised the same way as their child. I don't want that for my child either. What I do mind is people seeing my child and assuming things about my child because she is of Hispanic descent.  I mind that there is a broad brush condemnation of an entire people based on the actions of our poorer brethren without the realization that it is poverty and not race that it the factor causing all
Of these ills. I wouldn't want my child educated in Appalachia, as an example. [/quote]
