        my kid's school doesn't even allow costumes or acknowledge halloween in any way. Kids that showed up in costume were not allowed to enter the school.

          Are they opposed to holidays across the board? Or just Christian ones? Or just religious ones? Seems an odd thing to be opposed to as it is so universal both ethnically and religiously. Enough secular input to not make non-religious kids uncomfortable, but a solid religious base so no amount of religious requirement would take exception.

            As a kid, I have zero memory of anyone ever dressing up at school. Or wanting to. Or anyone even discussing it. We did for trick or treating, of course, but at school it just... was never a consideration unless I've just blanked it out.

              Neither. They are against the distraction that costumes bring. They want to make it a normal school day.

                    apparently chrome thinks discraction is a real word. It does not underline it.

                      Well, at least that's a decent reason. Not sure how costumes are really distracting. If you are distracted by clothing, I think the battle is already lost. Costumers are interesting for like... ten seconds.

                      But they can provide interesting learning opportunities. Come dressed up as a favourite literary character and explain why you identify with them. Dress as an important historical figure and tell about their life. Etc.

                        scott, your kids must be much more mild than mine. My 6 year old would be bouncing off the walls trying to see every detail of everyone else's costume while showing every other person her own costume, likely multiple times. Any sort of props make it easily 10x worse.

                          I'm just saying mine are already like that and the costume is really not a factor 🙂

                            Much like...

                            Your server is on fire!

                            or...

                            Your server is on fire (and your DNS setup isn't ideal.)

                            The DNS isn't much of a distraction there.

                                  Just got a load overload on how DNS replication has nothing to do with DNS lookups on internal DNS/DC servers... Thanks @JaredBusch
