[quote=Anonymous]Our upper NW DCPS asks for a student support fee each year of between $500-1000 per kid. I've never paid it despite having the money and contributing approx $20-30K a year to other charities. It just rubs me the wrong way---the idea that we (the wealthy) can subsidize our public education. I do spend money at the auction but somehow this seems different and better than just handing over the cash. I'd rather subsidize schools across the park than hand over a few thousand to my school in the form of the student support fee. Anyone else feel the same way? (and can articulate this better?) I can't even put my finger on it exactly but the idea of paying this money just feels yucky. [/quote]
