[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do this. Really, it just leads to more increased dependance amongst the parents. It's $8 and the family can come up with the money. The family has to make a choice - buy one less convenience item that week vs. send their kid on the field trip. It's not sweet, or cute, or helpful. It's the opposite. It creates a constant stream of dependance. [/quote] You are an idiot. I grew up poor (especially right after my parents separated/divorced) and thank god people at my school were looking out for kids like me when it came to field trips, sports uniforms, etc. And it in no way created a dependence issue for me or for my mom, who eventually got back on her feet. Now let's say the poor kid's mom decides to go out and buy cigarettes with the money she could have given her kid for the field trip...so the kid should be punished? People like you make my skin crawl.[/quote]
