[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of being outraged on behalf of those you perceive to be low-income, perhaps give it a minute to see if it’s actually an issue for them.

Teachers at Title I schools can share how even families they perceive to be low-income or actually are FARMs vacation at Disney, fly home to “their country” to visit family, etc.

There’s a process in place to accommodate anyone who asks—just like schools have for field trips, etc.

No need to be outraged unless/until it’s an issue that can’t be addressed. [/quote]

OMG! You really are clueless. My kids are older now but when they were in elementary there were families who relied on the school and PTA as essentially a food bank. If they couldn’t get some groceries donated on Fridays they couldn’t make it through the weekend. Some of them didn’t even have a pan to heat up a can of beans. You are clueless to the amount of poverty in this area of you fail to understand why an entry fee to a school event isyet another barrier for some families.[/quote]
