Jennifer Colin's curator insight, October 25, 2015 7:38 PM

"Watch your teachers serve you" advertises a flier for McTeacher's nights.  I find this whole concept ridiculous, and I am happy individuals took the time to stand against it.  Teachers complained that this event turned them into billboards and only resulted in a small cut of profit for the school.  In addition, it promoted food well-known for its detriment to health, while many students today already don't eat well.  I agree with everything this article states, and it demonstrates that administrators need to take many things into consideration before agreeing to marketing events or fundraisers.  How does the event reflect on the school and what message(s) is the event sending? How is it benefiting the school and/or the students?  These are things that should be carefully scrutinized.  As a school leader I would have a problem with McTeacher's nights.  But I have learned when you disagree with something, you get better results by having an alternate solution.  Therefore, I would have a proposal for something else that could result in the same, or even better, results.
