[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting private in the fall and my husband and I are in disagreement over donating money through fundraisers or contributing cash to the teachers holiday gift fund. I can afford to give a little here or there, but why? The tuition is ridiculously high and its not my responsibility to fund the financial aid program. DH disagrees and says we will get branded. At our over the top preschool, we were "asked" to make a suggested donation of $30 per child to the teacher's Christmas bonus fund. Not a huge amount, but [b]I chose not to give because I felt like why should I give when I'm already overpaying for what is basically very fancy day care.[/b] Please educate me, these tuition prices are so over the top that they can survive without extra pennies from our family.

If that is what you think, then why do you send your child to the school?

RE teachers' gifts, that big tuition payment is not going to the teachers' salaries.  Believe me, it isn't.[/quote]
