This is being discussed rather heatedly on another board and I thought it might liven things up since we are soooooo sloooooow.
Are you allowed to eat with your kids? Can you bring in restaurant food? Any guidelines on what you can pack for your kids? Does the school have vendors? Is the school lunch program considered a necessary evil or a money maker for the school?
If there are guidelines on what you can pack, does this make you mad? Does it make you think they are taking

To add to your post ... should we also get rid of Girl Scout Cookies? It's not a school system, but I'd bet that most parents feel their kids get as much, if not more, influence from their fellow scouts and their troop leaders as they do from a faceless, nameless school system. So, if that influential body is not only selling cookies, but having the girls themselves sell the cookies, what kind of message does that send?

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
I find the whole nazi thing really offensive. You've hardly experienced any sort of actual flamage or invective that would ordinarily accompany the usage of the term "nazi"; what is everyone who disagrees with you in any way a nazi now, forcing you to debate?
I think it was really uncalled for.

I hadn't really given much thought to food fundraisers.
Holy smokes is that dumb, but classic.
I'm not a big fan of schools using kids to peddle crap unrelated to the subject of the funds and which no one needs either, but at least the purchasers in this kind of situation are adults. (You'd think it would make sense to have orchestra kids selling tapes of their orchestra playing, tickets and refreshments at the concerts, football fundraisers selling hats or Tshirts with the school logo or snacks at the games, the library fundraiser selling books, wouldn't you?)
