The afternoon parties of my elementary days don’t line up with the Taiwanese education system’s values. Bobbing for apples-too unsanitary, cookies and cake-too expensive for a ‘pretend holiday’, afternoon party-too much time out of the classroom.
My school did set a new standard of efficiency for holiday celebrations however.
Within the course of an hour, all the students in the school put on their costumes, walked around the block to ‘trick-or-treat’ at prearranged locations, took a barrage of pictures and were back in their classrooms learning.
It helped that the school had gone to different business and supplied them with candy to give to the children a week or so in advance. This way the children could walk into each store single file and receive their 1 allotted candy item.
You thought your teachers were scary...
Someone who really understands the Halloween Spirit:
Trick-or-Treat takes on a new feeling in a city of millions
