[quote=Anonymous]I lost my $150k job and my spouses business collapsed. We are both looking for jobs now, while I collect unemployment. We used to make $300k combined. Wealth here is so skewed and people take it for granted that if you are well educated and your kids go to a good school, you can afford all these fees and fundraisers. Our kids go to different dcps schools, not Janney, but at the more affluent school, the demands for money all the time are ridiculous. At the low income school, it’s a $15 optional donation to join the pta. Out of embarrassment when the other school pta asked for donations to its annual fund, we gave $200. We did not want to be judged, so we gave more than we could afford.[/quote]
