[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that as a BASIS parent, we're not donating directly to the school. If they want our money (and we were huge donors in elementary), they can allow a PTO. [/quote] I don’t want a PTO. And I’m MUCH happier giving to BASIS,[b] where I know my funds will go directly to teachers[/b], than I was at our prior elementary, where funding was wasted on an endless list of annoying parent-driven pet projects…. [/quote] My issue is that BASIS should already be paying their teachers well, instead of doing things like advertising on busses. So I don't "know that my funds are going directly to teachers" and instead feel like my funds are paying for BS that I don't actually want to pay for, because BASIS is using parents to pay their staff and putting the BASIS money elsewhere. Plus, there is no transparency, the way there is with a PTO. [/quote]
