[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here from a Title One school. What's wrong with a Back to School popsicle pool party at a swim club for the members/guests of the swim club? If it is in place of an open event held previously for everyone, that is not cool. Does the school host their own BTS event? If not, why not?[/quote]

The concern is its sponsored by the school for members only so non-member kids cannot attend.  Gross.[/quote]

It sounds like it’s sponsored by the swim club.  No reason there can’t be other meet and greets elsewhere too, but honestly the whole thing sounds like it was arranged by some pretty tone deaf people, and I’m surprised that the teachers and staff are cool with it.[/quote]

+1 -- The problem here is that teachers are included, so parents and kids who can afford membership have an opportunity to socialize with teachers that excludes families and kids who can't afford membership.  That's wrong.  I'm a teacher (not public school) and our family belongs to a private tennis and swim club.  I would not be in favor of attending this kind of event, either as a teacher or parent.
