[quote=Anonymous]I live in NY and read with amusement the outrage at $400/semester for signing up one's child up for classes that offer adult supervision, doesn't require your presence, feeds them a little , teaches/reinforces basic civil behavior and let's them play with their friends.  Ladies, this is cheaper than babysitters.  It's cheaper than the $650/semester for my kid to take 45 minutes/once a week of ballet/gym/taekwondo/music etc... and I'm obligated to stay in the frickin' lobby and wait.
As for the hurt parents who didn't receive invites, if you really want to join a class, why not write a nice letter to express your interest for little Bobby or Sue to take their classes?  Unless you've tried this route and been rebuffed, all this talk about exclusivity is rumor and innuendo.  They're probably sending out unsolicited invites to the most easily marketable group (not unlike the credit card companies, or the Ed McMahon Sweepstakes brigade).  If you aren't interested, then you aren't interested.  No one is forcing you to sign up for these classes.  I do have to wonder how such invitations could have been received if they were unsolicited - who's the busybody handing out your addresses?[/quote]
