[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the OP wants to do something to help at schools where there is need. Not all S. Arlington schools fit this category, but some do. And certainly more PTA money can do no harm at those schools. There is real disparity in ability to raise funds, that's just a fact. As a S. Arlington parent I would prefer that our schools not be so highly segregated by income levels, but until we move away from neighborhood schools, or until we stop putting up barriers to different types of housing in all our neighborhoods, informal pooling of resources through direct , CCPTA fund, etc. is as good as it's going to get. I'd rather schools that have more limited budgets get more money than sit up on my high horse about the quality of education across S. Arlington schools. My kids are fine at a Title 1 school, but if I don't have to buy ALL the glue sticks this year that would be cool, too. [/quote] Why isn't this rich county providing the purple glue sticks, tri write pencils, prang colored pencils, and stuff?[/quote]
