[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm on our elementary's PTA Board and disapprove of school auctions. I understand it brings in money for the school, so I keep my mouth shut, but I do not condone the message that a public school can encourage inequalities, that if you have money, you get more school-related stuff. At our school, shadowing the Principal is auctioned off, or a lunch with the assistant Principal, etc. Tying a relationship with a special teacher or administrator with money is just wrong. So I don't go. Don't want to see that happening live.[/quote] You shouldn't. I am a "poor" in a wealthy school and events like these don't bother me. We wouldn't be able to attend with the cost of tickets if our school was to offer something like this but oh well. The PTA puts on plenty of other free or low cost events and provides a hefty off set for field trips during the year that there is plenty of benefit we get as a family. Not every event can be for every person.[/quote]
