[quote=Anonymous][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.

Yes, but nobody with the power to effect change cares about your issue, not with the BASIS waiting list growing annually.

Transparency? That's for private and suburban schools in this Metro area.[/quote]
