[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to the original question, however: is only 55% of the class donates, yet they all consume, how is this fair?  Pizza or cupcakes, whatever the budget... if your child is benefiting from the class funds and you don't contribute, is that fair?  Put financial hardship aside. We all understand that.  But I doubt half the class in OP's case is under that circumstance.[/quote]

So you do realize that the parents whose children are at the school have also contributed unevenly to the cost of running the school?  For example, parents in the highest tax bracket pay/contribute more, and those in the lowest pay less, or nothing at all?  Then there's all the parents who pay but send their kids to private school (where, by the way, you have the same issue because of financial aid).  The fact that you are bothered by which parents have contributed to a stupid class party and the fact that some parents haven't paid their $25 but their kid nonetheless gets to have a cookie means you have some serious issues.
