Halloween

[ectohitch]

Since being on my own, I've never handed out candy on Halloween. No one trick-or-treats in North Oakland (I had candy on hand the first year I was there), and no kid knew to ring the doorbell to get me down from the 3rd floor on Carson St., so there was never any need

While it might be against the rules some places, it is certainly not the rule in most. While most schools don't allow students to carry food/beverages around with them outside the cafeteria, class-planned celebrations with food are okay. Occassions like Halloween and Christmas are still ripe with candy, as well as other pre-planned celebrations. The thing that might look bad is if you give out food/candy/beverages sneakily, and maybe to some students as opposed to all. If it's planned in advance (or on a holiday) it's fair game. My students had candy today and no one said a thing. However, one of my students told me that his 16th birthday is tomorrow and I should give him candy as a present. That I cannot do.

Apparently, the Keystone Oaks policy is such that Kelly had to get permission to use peanut M&Ms as a model for the earth's core.

That's crazy. But still, it was planned in advance and she got permission so she was allowed to use them, right?

Yeah -- but "the guy I'm dating wants to get rid of his excess candy" isn't really academically sound.
