[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with you. I do the same things. I don't donate to my kids school except for field trip costs, etc. Even field trips for high SES kids I think are pretty silly.  Almost every kid at my kids' school is taken to museums, parks, etc. I don't think my kids have not been to a place where they have later gone on a school field trip. I also don't think there needs to be extra teachers such as an art teacher when poor kids in the city don't also have access to a parent funded art teacher. I don't think kids need iPads or smartboards at school either.  It somehow rubs me the wrong way too. My kids are really easy kids to educate.  Bright, advanced academically, no social problems, no behavior problems. Basically average kids when compared to other higher SES families. They would do fine without all the extras.  I had one PTA parent chide me for not donating when her kid uses up a substantial amount of services (one-to-one aide, special education) . I don't begrudge her kids getting services but she should realize that her kid costs substantially more to educate than mine.  I never said anything to her and just walked away.It is up to the school district to provide a basic level of education to everyone regardless of whether parents donate. [/quote]

No SMARTBOARDS or other teacher resources, OMG do you still use rabbit ears on your TV?  There's always one, and this time my dear, it's you  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
