[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wealthy schools receive often less than 1/2 the funding per student than poorer schools. So, if they want to do away with PTA funding, they are going to need to make up those differences to some extent.

Also, let's keep in mind that while the dollar figures are high, most schools (Mann being the exception) are only paying for 1-2 teachers or a handful of aides across the whole school. While it's nice, it is not like they have a significant number of extra, trained teachers.[/quote]

If PTA funding is just to "make up for" what other schools are getting, then why do the wealthy schools have so much extra nice stuff that the poor schools don't?  [/quote]

+1.  Get a clue PP.  Tell yourself it's fair if it helps you sleep at night.  But that funding goes to things your school doesn't need, like a fourth social worker.  Yup we have FOUR.  Can you imagine why?  Your school doesn't get those funds because your school doesn't NEED those funds.  What you raise goes to things that make it nice, nice, nice-- we don't have most of those things, because our extra money goes to the at-risk kids.  Who's getting the better deal?[/quote]
