[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's definitely not appropriate. But I also wouldn't assume all the PTA moms are rich. I'm sure some are, but the assumption that parents all make more than teachers is common and not true (some are teachers themselves - although a teacher would not make this request!) [/quote] This is a private school. At my kid's private school 77% of families are paying the full $60K. I think it's a fair assumption that all of those 77%, and a significant number of the remaining 23% make more money than the teachers. I say this as someone who sends kids to the school on significant financial aid. When I taught in a low income public school, I did make more than my students. I spent a lot of money on meeting student needs. I still wouldn't have contributed to something like this. Instead, I solved the problems I saw in front of me. [/quote]
