[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We loved the Magnet trips. There are a number of parents who will anonymously donate to cover any costs. The magnet secretary and coordinator will say that they are short by x number of dollars, and people will be ready to donate. Don't worry about paying for it. You can certainly do carwashes and bake sales and sponsorships for it too. We were told to save $15 a week from the 6th grade and that was more than sufficient. However there are tons of money because MD state gives a lot of money to the school for special programs, and even when the school spreads it for everyone, there is a lot of money in the school which they do not want to spend on these students. [/quote] I just can't support the idea that it's fine and appropriate to have an unnecessary >$1000 field trip on grounds that affluent parents with kids in the magnet program are willing to pay for the magnet-program kids who have non-affluent parents.[/quote]
