[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question- do you just sit around and try to think of things to be outraged about? Sounds like you are the kind of person who creates drama when she gets bored.[/quote]

Seriously.  This isn't that deep.  I personally assume checks are not an option anymore in most scenarios.  If you're worried about your kid carrying cash, you could always send them with one of those prepaid Visa cards from CVS.  I wouldn't worry about the teacher holding the cash...if she loses it, it's her problem, not yours.

It's really pretty day out. Back away from the computer and go  out and enjoy it. [/quote]

Even in suburban areas it's not uncommon for schools to require cash, certified check or money order for payments so close to the end of the year. My DC's school sold left over yearbooks and required cash or money order payments ONLY. They could have been purchased for less earlier in the year using cash, check or credit card.

The only issue I see in this jaded outrage is not receiving receipts. I think the "non-receipt" is just something you threw in there to justify your outrage. Chances are GREAT that teachers ARE handing out receipts. I've ALWAYS received one when paying for things, whether I used cash, check or credit card.

But um yeah, I think you're working too hard to find things to be outraged over.[/quote]
