[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently got a letter from the school suggesting a donation with a specific amount, $5,000. Parents involved in fundraising told me that the school sets this number based on what they think families earn, where they live, and other personal circumstances. Isn’t that a bit too much? Shouldn’t the amount of any donation be a completely personal decision? I also wonder where this money actually goes. Does it really help families in need, or is it sometimes directed to upper-middle-class families the school randomly selects for scholarships? How does it work at your school? Do they “suggest” a donation amount, or is there no pressure at all on how much to give?[/quote] I would rather donate that money as winter gifts to individual teachers. [/quote]
