[quote=Anonymous]We have recently started at a small coop preschool. The school is lovely and we are more than happy with the teachers and the facilities. But the fundraising is leaving a bitter taste in our mouths.

Usually the school has a couple of big fundraisers a year. I'm sure it's always a struggle to organize etc but this year they've ditched one of them in favor of a blatant begging request to parents for money. There is a 'suggested' amount and the various letters and emails we've had say they would like 100% participation. And we are getting updates on a regular basis of how many families per class have donated with an incentive for the class with the highest % participation by a certain date. I'm sure this week those who haven't yet donated will be targeted individually. Maybe it's not intentional but it's really not far short of a name and shame for those who haven't donated.

It's really bugging us. We've just paid tuition, we've only been in the school a couple of months and now they want more $$$. We'd happily pay higher tuition in return for less of this guilt tripping over not donating to the latest fundraising drive.

Is this unusual?[/quote]
