[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school required your kid to have it, right? Despite what the miffed musician says above, your throwing it out does nothing to make the world a safer place for "real" music....the teacher's still going to require it of other students, because that's what the curriculum says.  P[b]lease clean it and offer to donate it to the music teacher at school, saying that you hope another child can use it. [/b](The exception: If your child chewed on the mouthpiece and it's scarred by that; in that case, toss it and don't try to sell or give it away.)

Our DC went to an elementary school in a pretty affluent area but there were some families who either didn't have money to spare for much of anything (which is why the PTA had a fund quietly used to help pay for things like field trip costs for those kids) or who, for other reasons, never seemed to have their act together enough to go get things like a recorder for music class, or halfway decent sneakers for gym class. Even in the overall well-off DCUM area, there are reasons, some financial, some mental or emotional or whatever, that little things like a stock of recorders or sneakers or field trip funds do help give a few kids a better school experience. OK, off the soap box now. [/quote][/quote]
