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....

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...

Elementary school was ridiculous, it seemed like there was something every damn month. Now that he's in middle school it's not so bad. One of my friends has kids in another district, and every once in a while I'll receive something from him in the mail that's a school fundraiser. They actually had the kids stuffing envelopes during school and sending the shit to their parents' friends. Just unbelieveable.

I see you are in LS also. Which school? My little girl started kindergarten at PrarieView. I have been peddling these damn coupon books to all my coworkers all day long. Now I am going to have to spend a whole paycheck on girl scout cookies when they come around.

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.
