[quote=Anonymous]Yes, children get prizes for their fundraising. The prizes are give daily during Boosterthon personnel visits to classrooms. They hype the kids up and get them totally derailed from learning leaving teachers to pick up the pieces. Technically, the rewards aren’t based on parental giving, as the kids are encouraged to hit up *everyone* they know (and not given much guidance about appropriate boundaries around that). Yes, PPs are correct that Boosterthon keeps an obscene portion of the donations. All third-party school fundraisers are terrible, but Boosterthon is particularly awful. It hijacks the learning environment, engenders crummy feelings about being hit up for cash, and doesn’t make much money for schools.[/quote]
