they are laying off tons of teachers, the principal just gave notice after 10 years and leaving 3 weeks before school is out. This is a TOP 5 school!
Now, I am being asked to donate $4 for the drinking water in the classroom so my kid doesn't go thirsty? And at the end of school year they send a notice home like this?
I always pack her a water bottle but I am seriously pissed at this request, insulted actually.
Am I wrong? I mean water? should I pay their gas bill. electric, salaries too? thought I already did with tax dollars that go nowhere. I've already contributed a ton and a ton of volunteer time on top of all it takes to raise a kid.
Governor Terminator: Hope you have enough water to put the Santa Barbara fires out!!
