[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to the original question, however: is only 55% of the class donates, yet they all consume, how is this fair?  Pizza or cupcakes, whatever the budget... if your child is benefiting from the class funds and you don't contribute, is that fair?  Put financial hardship aside. We all understand that.  But I doubt half the class in OP's case is under that circumstance.[/quote]

I don't see it as unfair necessarily.  Some parents care about these parties, others don't.  Some would really prefer not to have these parties and the junk that comes with it.  But the agnostic or anti parents aren't necessarily able to leave work and pick up their kids to avoid these parties.  So the kids are there, but the parents really have no interest in supporting these endeavors.  It's a public school so I don't think there really should be a tax on an unwilling parent just for his kid to stay in school for the full normal day.

Plus, at the end of the day I just don't care enough one way or another to get bent out of shape as to whether some family is freeloading a cupcake or two.[/quote]
