[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's every parent's decision as to whether their kid is ready to take the trip, but 2/3 of the class will be going. Those who don't will have school every day. What "fund-raising" is needed for that? Are you suggesting that funds be raised for them to go to school as usual? What an odd idea. [/quote] Actually only about 1/3 the class (11 students) is signed up as of now. My problem with the fund raising is that the entire focus of fund raising at the whole school for this entire year is on these 11 fifth graders who will go on a trip. I think fund raising should benefit the ENTIRE school, not just a subset of the 5th grade. As others have mentioned, there are needs throughout the school, in all the grades. Fund raising efforts should support the entire school. If a family can afford to pay $6000++ for a trip (cost of one student and one parent going) then I don't see why they need the whole school to "fund raise" to subsidize the trip. [/quote]
