Barfooties is right...maybe private school will end up costing less!
I have no issue with paying for my daughter's thirst, but from a public school which would not be Top 5 without all parents constantly pitching in, but what about the other school districts where parents work 18 hours and can barely make ends meet in the household? Do their children go thirsty.
It's just wrong on principal. more ranting. my apology...but where will the line ever be drawn? When parents become the teachers in the classroom as well as life?
thanks for the post though!!  |
You will find that the more money the parents have in the district, the more requestx for non-necessities you get. At my daughters school they ask for things like "2 pairs of running shoes to be kept at school, one for indoor gym, one for out, along with 1 or 2 pairs of slippers (cuts down on janitorial work. They also ask for tennis balls for the bottom of chairs each year so they don't make noise. The children also have to send in 5 boxes of kleenex each for the classroom along with each child having their very own 3 hole punch, stapler etc. To get everything on my daughters list at the begining of school last year cost me $300 not including running shoes.
