[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington County pays for all elementary school field trips[/quote]

This is not true. I paid a class fee of 40 bucks that was to cover things like field trips plus I just paid another 5 for a field trip on Friday. 
People who have money don't realize that not everyone has a spare five dollars and not just because they are blowing it all on Cheetos

I don't recall a line about donating more on the slip but I will look into it next time.

The way I look at it is this. If I can give I  do. If they are lying shame on them. But if I can give and I don't and someone goes without who is truly in need then shame on me.

My best friend was in immigrant who came here with almost nothing. She once told me "remember those cans kids brought in for food drives well those cans were for families like mine."  Not all families who are poor make bad choices. So folks are stuck in a cycle of poverty.  So are trying their best to break free.

If you don't want to give it is your choice but if someone else wants to be generous especially where children are involved why would you try to discourage them? [/quote]
