: : : Yes instead let's be cruel to the 6-11 year olds, goodness knows cruelty is the way to go. This is not the workplace, it is Elementary School, I don't think you quite get that. So do you not feel for starving children because hey it's the real world, we shouldn't just GIVE them food, and who cares if they have food just as long as we do right? You are disgusting as a human being. If more people cared then the world wouldn't have to be such a cruel place, just because it's the norm to be uncaring doesn't mean you have to follow the herd.
These kids won't starve because they miss a pizza party, there will be enough pizza wasted and thrown away to feed any starving kids.You need to wake up .I might care more than you think, I do believe the kids should follow the rules - if they don't sell any pizza, no party, the little darlings will survive the terrible ordeal.

: : It seems to me that this a PTO issue. Who's in charge of that organisation?? There are other ways to generate funds for activities. Bake Sales, Garage Sales, Car Washes, etc. where the PARENTS, actually get involved and ontribute to the PTO, members or not. Oh, I'm sorry it's easier to exploit the kids, how stupid of me.. Seems like there needs to be a change in the PTO's creativity and imagination.
: I believe these concerns were brought up at last night's meeting. Not sure what the resolution was, but it seems that at least some parents are expressing themselves.
