The results of our most recent West of the I poll were decidedly in favor of holiday parties at school during school hours for students.
The most pro party answer — “Kids need some relief from the school day once in a while. Parties during school are OK” –received the highest percentage of votes — 45 percent.
The most anti-party answer — “School is about academics. Parties are a waste of valuable time” — received the lowest percentage, a meager 2 percent.
The answer invoking the events as community traditions received 26 percent of the vote and the answer favoring a compromise of parties at school but after the school day received 28 percent of the vote.
In other words, mess with those school parties at your own peril school administrators and board members.
