[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People that blame emails for not giving, or blame prior mismanagement, or blame anyone else but their own inner miser are looking for a reason to not give.

PTO’s that have non-profit status ( and others that don’t, but partner with the schools status) many times apply for matching grants that award organizations for participation percentage.

When my kid’s pto’s ask, I always give something. Even if the amount is small. It’s not a big deal since my kids benefit from the hard work other parents put in.

After working at a Title I school a few years ago, the realities faced by these organizations are incredibly diverse. They cannot be surmised with alist of acronyms or even characterized accurately with generalizations about poor families (most of whom are working families). These Families are  toting your groceries and driving your Uber’s and charging your scooters and sweeping your sidewalks and cleaning your houses emptying your public bins filled with half bagged dog poop and mowing your lawns and wiping your aging parents asses... most are not on drugs but struggle financially to make ends meet  nevertheless.

If you don’t want to even spare ten dollars at your decent WTOP elementary school solely to avoid receiving emails or being badgered, then continue the masochistic act of complaining about being asked to help your local public school that your child also attends.... for free

... quick before I depart how much was your tuition bill last month... oh yeah, zero.

You realize that the money funding schools comes from our taxes, right? So it’s not free, and my tuition bill is whatever portion of my taxes goes to funding schools. To me my taxes are enough, I’m not giving more money. [/quote]
