Schoolkids and Fundraising
My son started kindergarten last Wednesday... one week later, they have given him several catalogs of stuff in which to sell from.

There are prizes attached to it, etc.

One week into his school life and he is hocking shit for the school? Already?

Is this is a fancy way around Child Labor laws? Have them do work for free, but give them a 'prize'.

WTF

What a crock. My daughter started to kindergarten and they started the fundraiser on her FIRST DAY.

If that wasn't bad enough, my wife said they're starting ANOTHER ONE next Monday. We turn in the results of the first one on FRIDAY.

It cost me $325 just to have my son in the band this year. That is before the fund raisers (which indeed have already started) including selling the coupon books and a car wash. I guess they need to be able to afford to pay for the gas for the tractor trailer the school owns for carrying the band equipment to games and the like.

I know I am an old fart but I don't remember my folks having to pay for me to be in band. Of course we didn't have a nice rig to carry our stuff and only had 1 band director (I believe it is either 3 or 4 here at this school). I also don't remember having to spend 8 hours a day practicing marching for a month before school started either. When I asked the director about all this he just said that the school board and the community have high expectations. My personal high expectations are for my kids to get an education. Band and music have their place but still....

Band is alot cheaper than competitive baseball. My little league baseball team goes through an average of $7,000 a summer in expenses.

Schools have trouble with funds so they have the kids do fundraising activities. It is a scam that works because they know the parents will want their child to not be left behind the other students in their success. Hey get used to it you got at least 12 more years of it.

Precisely why I'm considering private school.

If I'm gonna pay taxes AND still have to pay out of my pocket, I'm gonna at least make sure they get a real education...

I have my daughter in a private school for now and they do the same crap. Every other week she gets sent home with a note about "donate for this" and "remember to sell that". It's become a joke between my wife and I - whenever we get anything from them I hide my wallet.
