[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 244911, member: 1233"] I think what D is doing is AWESOME. Clearly what the child NEEDS. Daddies and Donuts, or Mommies and Muffins, is a way to get parents to come to school - for any reason. Kids do better when parents are involved, even in a non-academic thing like this. Our school has the high school teams or college teams or firefighters come up and sit with kids who don't have parents who can be there. The team varies from year to year, but it makes a big difference. Since my niece and thank you are at the same school this year, often Gpa goes up for lunch. He has a whole group of boys in thank you's class and girls in niece's class who flock to him. It started with Gparents' Day and then Gpa went for something else. Now if he goes to pick one of them up the kids are all over him. Kinda funny as he spent almost 4 decades as a jr high teacher, LOL! These activities really do mean a lot to the kids. And it is truly AWESOME that your son joined the child - and that the child CHOSE him. Often kids really respond to someone who sets limits and enforces them. The mom is very lucky to have your son! Give your son a hug from me. He is doing something VERY good. [/QUOTE]
