the following actually happened to my dd's class and the otehr 2650 preschoolers that attended "park day". consider this a precursor to a disaster!
The following issues came up on park day:
• Breakfast arrived 45 minutes late!
o There was an error at the base of operations. We were not on their docket.
o There was not enough food or fresh milk
#61607; Not every class received fruit.
#61607; There was only one fruit choice
• banana
o not everyone received fresh milk
#61607; some received shelf milk
• the kids could not drink their shelf milk
• Also, the ones with shelf milk in their cereal could not eat.
o Not everyone received the same food items
#61607; Ex. Some received cocoa puffs, others received corn flakes.
• Injuries at the jungle gym.
o Too many children trying to slide down the poles. Not head start size.
• Children would fall straight down to the ground
• NEED SUPERVISION
• Lunch arrived at 11:10 A.M. the employee was courteous.
o Parents want the lunches bagged and grouped by classes again!!!
• Restrooms were EXTREMELY FILTHY: feces on seats at 9A.M.
• Professional and courteous staff
• Every class should be prepared to be self sufficient
o Wipes, gallon of water, mini cups, hand sanitizer, etc…

Thanks for posting that, Caridad. It reminded me of one of your other threads: You must be logged in to see this link.
And now if I may vent after reading your post above and what you also posted at the link above...
ATTENTION, PARENTS: Now consider what would happen if your family didn't make ample preparations for your child to be fed or otherwise cared for, and then multiply that times the number of kids present at an event. If you don't take steps to prepare for your child's or your family's well-being in the event of interruptions, unexpected shortages, etc., if you have the means to do so, I'm sorry, I think you're an irresponsible parent. I realize that a lot of people don't have much of a surplus of goods because money is tight for a lot of us, but if you refuse to prepare for yourself and your kids and family because you're assuming someone else will step in if things hit the fan, you're putting your kids and the rest of your family in jeopardy. Caridad's day at the park is a good example of how others can't or won't take care of you in an emergency if things go awry and you aren't prepared. Don't be lazy or stupid--prepare now for contingencies while you still can, because nobody else (especially the government) can do it for you. I'm not yet a parent, but we read stories every day of parents and families expecting other people to take care of their kids so they themselves don't have to, and then they act surprised when things go awry. Kids are among the most vulnerable members of society, and if their parents don't do things now to provide for their kids in any and every situation if they have the means and the ability, they shouldn't have become parents in the first place.

That's a pretty broad brush you're painting with, bud. I realize that there are a lot of screwed-up parents, but if today's public schools are any indication--as a microcosm of both the government and society--then I put a lot more faith in parents as a whole to take care of their families than I trust the government to take care of people. I've known a lot of very well-adjusted people who have home-schooled their kids and the kids have grown up to be very smart and well-adjusted themselves. I don't hear many people (other than neoliberals) saying that the government does a better job teaching kids than their parents do. The problem is that too many parents don't teach their kids at all...which is why now we have a society expecting to have everything handed to them in a ready-to-use format. This goes back to the point I made above about preparedness in general and providing for our families in particular--if we don't provide for our families if we have ample resources to take care of our own, or if we don't find the legal and moral means to provide for our families and to instill within them a sense of responsibility, ownership and initiative, then we're going to have yet another generation not just unprepared but expecting everyone else to take care of them. THAT is why we should be prepared and should encourage anyone who will listen to be prepared as well. |

Nick: What they teach (in public schools) is just as toxic. Homeschool or private school (is my recommendation).
What happened at the park may be a "picnic" compared to what goes down in the classroom. |
That's not a dollar, mate...THIS is a dollar.

| i ended up having to share evenly a sleEVe e of crackers and a banana with my dd's 17 classmates. if you thought i would not tell the other parents what happened as they picked up their child you were wrong. i told EVERY PARENT I COULD!!! then the next day there was a call up meeting for the parent committee. I PRESENTED OUR MODERATOR AND PARENTS THIS SAME MEMO AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING. apparently they were willing to mention something of it at the beginning. HOWEVER!!!, WHEN I PRESENTED THAT PAGE TO OUR EMPLOYED MODERATOR, THERE WAS NO WAY SHE COULD AVOID GOING POINT BY POINT. it took me this long to get over the emotional day and tell you guys what happened. I NEVER WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. FOOD DISTRIBUTION DID NOT HAVE OUR 300 PRESCHOOLERS ON THE DOCKET AT ALL!!! not for regular or park day!!! our kids ended up eating the MEALS ON WHEELS breakfast that was already there at the park!!! |

the following is a memo i wrote for all class parents. i hope it is used immediately in all clasrooms.
Dear Parents;
The following day, ___________________________________ is park day. This day we need a minimum of six (6) parents to volunteer at the park. Each parent will be given a specific duty of supervision. Should a child have questionable behavior it is the duty of the parent volunteer to immediately explain to the teacher what happened. It is not the responsibility of the parent to discipline the child. Please remember parents are to follow a hands-off approach to discipline. Thank you for your time in volunteering.

I put it in my dd's backpack. the teacher has no problem with it. however, the next park day was a total 180 with the parents. parents brought food OPENLY!!!! they bbq!!! they even had donuts...and other non nutritious foods. but who cares!!! they brought food!!! let me tell you one more thing. school district protects itself!!! i still met some parents who had NO CLUE about the park day!!! i think the teachers should have mentioned it to the parents, if not that day then on the next site meeting!!! |

Just curious, Caridad, why don't TPTB want parents to bring outside food in for their kids? |
