SAH doesn't support change,

"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"
Statement in a post below.
I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

<<The awards my kids get for participating in this program makes up for the chance that they don't get the peer-to-peer interaction time that the other kids do. >>
How?

....or that some people are just actually reading what is written?

hmmm...maybe you could clarify what you mean by ptos only giving a damn about a perfect attendance,then. jabbymom is correct,perfect attendance awards have nothing to do with pto and everything to do with the school's district.
as if perfect attendance awards are just cute,creative fund raisers each individual school plans and creates. bwah.
That is something I'm having a hard time understanding in this thread....why is it okay and expected for awards for the children to replace creative teaching by the teachers?

understood as you and many others have asserted in this very thread that you dislike them,find them very meaningless yada yada......that does *not* change the fact that they are charged by a school district policy,not individual school plan. what my child's school gets awarded with at the end of the year is what every other elementary school in this district has.
all school districts are different...just because (you) don't like them doesn't mean they shouldn't be awarded.
"i am not aware of a single reason why perfect attendance of individual students would be meaningful to any school district, nor of a single school district that has a district-wide program for handing out awards for it."
I can think of one reason school districts might be very invested in perfect attendance awards: money for schools is often directly linked to daily attendance. If a student misses one day, the school district gets less money. It's a pathetic relationship, in my opinion, since the teachers' salaries, school infrastructure etc. have to be paid for regardless of how many students are absent on any given day. But I know it's one reason why many Californian schools have tried to make it very difficult for students to miss school even when they are sick.
.....and certainly nothing about an Astro's game.
