[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]disruption.  scary costumes.  people who don't "celebrate" Halloween.  it has nothing to do with educating children.

Must I go on?

We do Halloween trick or treating, but I don't want my kids going to school in costume.[/quote]

School is not just about education.  And every last attempt to suck any fun out of the school day has been a significant disappointment.  I have good memories of Halloween, parties, birthday treats, etc. Now all forbidden. No "running" on the playground also.  The kids already walk around like automatrons all day with almost zero down time- they get 25 min. for lunch and 25 min. at "recess" where they are not allowed to run.

We wonder why kids are stressed and unhappy.  And, I think it's complete, utter bullshit. If you don't want to dress up in school - don't.  Same way kids don't dress up for "pajama day" or any other day. But, to cut it out for all? You can be a killjoy for yourself and leave the rest of us to enjoy life.[/quote]
