Running from violent crime should be good enough for anyone. Eh, but schoolkids totally don’t need safe, supervised ways to get exercise. Running from violent crime should be good enough for anyone.

My kids' schools (and their daycares before they went to school) banned home-baked goodies for classroom parties. I can no longer bake cupcakes, but I can go to Wal-mart and buy cupcakes to bring in. These are considered to be less mysterious in some way. I have never figured out this logic. The "a la carte" menu at school sells just gems as Nestle Quik milk and Little Debbie Honeybuns The fundraisers we have been involved with have all been horribly unhealthy. We've had to sell pizza dough, cookie dough, M&Ms, candy bars, popcorn, etc. I hate doing this. For all our efforts, the school only gets about 1/2 the money and the rest goes to the distributor. Our school finally came up with a "stress free" fundraiser. They asked all the parents to cut a check for $20/kid and then they promised not to bother them with any fundraisers all year. Of course, this is not always economically feasible for all parents, but at our school enough parents participated that it funded the PTA activities for the year. Oh geez.
