Exremeism? my fantasy outlook is to let kids do what with the always did. Im not looking to make little Joey feel special, Im looking to get the school know it alls to let kids be kids. If the school proposed stopping birthday celebrations because it was disctracting the class, I would applaud them. But thats not what they are doing. they are saying you cant use food to celebrate anymore. So we're punishing the skinny kids for only one reason - fat kids. If you agree with that, fine. But its BS in my book.
I dont need you to agree with me, my letter has generated a ton of feedback from like minded parents including a school nurse who also agrees with me. If its extreme to let kids be kids then I'm gulity. Maybe you need society to raise your kids, but I dont. I know whats healthy and whats not.
I'd rather have my kids have skinned elbows and bruised knees than never knowing the feeling of running.
