I am the PP, and a lot of us parents are offering to fundraise if we can before they decide to cancel the trip. But the way you put it, like it isn't  priority for them, but if it is for me, I should fundraise - well that is part of what irks me. If people truly can;t afford it, that is one thing. But to have a trip in danger of being cancelled unless I fundraise, [b]because people can't be bothered to save for it is not a fun thing to explain to disappointed kids.[/b][/quote]

I agree that it would not be fun to explain it that way. But there is no need to explain it that way, and anyway you don't know if it's accurate or not. Instead, explain that every family has their own priorities, and every family decides how to spend their own money. Evidently many families have decided for whatever reason that this field trip is not a priority for them. If it is a priority enough for you to be worth fundraising for, then fundraise. If it's not, then don't.
