What is Halloween in education? Just another day for students to learn....Whatever happened to celebrating the "fun" part of halloween? As a child, the best day was when we could dress up, march around the building and eat great homemade snacks made with (dare I say it?) SUGAR! Today, students can't dress up (may offend someone) and parents and teachers aren't supposed to offer "sugar" snacks (because the obesity problem is directly linked to the classroom consumption of sugar during the 1 halloween party).
PLEASE?! Why can't students enjoy this one event of the year? Why must all good things be put aside? Is this because we are being considerate of one another's beliefs or can't we miss one minute of instruction due to the upcoming state testing?
It's a sad day when the "great pumpkin" isn't so great anymore....
