[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with doing the political causes thing at school and i also disagree with doing halloween at school. Leave that for after. [/quote]

Especially in elementary school.  That’s ridiculous.

Six year olds should ‘pick a cause’?  Not appropriate.

Fine if they want to do this in MS. [/quote]

Why is it ridiculous?

At six, my kid would have picked the rescue that we got our dog from, or the butterfly garden because he likes to run around there.  It's totally appropriate for 6 year olds to know that things they value are funded by donations.  [/quote]

At 6, most kids don't know about politics and my kid wouldn't have known about donations or causes as its not appropriate for  6 year old.  The causes thing is dumb.  Dress your kid in halloween colors or get a halloween shirt at target or children's place and be done with it.[/quote]

Ok, but there are no 6 year olds at Chevy Chase - It is a 3-5 grade school with a CES.  Most kids are going to understand the concept of a cause.

FWIW, Ms Smith has always promoted a charity every year at school. One year it was some heart thing, another year cancer.  Kids are encouraged to raise money for the cause and some very wealthy parents send in hefty checks.

Halloween parade dressed as your cause is another variation of this, minus the gross hefty checks in school. [/quote]

What are you talking about? There is no Halloween parade. She specifically said that she will not allow any Halloween activities at school. [/quote]

My poor description - wha t I meant is she is substitutingbone dress up for another. [/quote]
