[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Art fee, $25. Chorus, $50.

It literally never crossed my mind to be upset about this. I'm happy to pay for the specialized supplies or resources these teacher need to work with my kids. [/quote]

This also is not new. I was in middle school and high school in the late 80s to early 90s, and even back then, my parents paid fees for courses I took.

I'm so tired of all these threads about the cost of school supplies and school fees. It is expensive to have kids. Stop complaining.[/quote]

Agree. They are upfront that there are fees in certain classes as it is listed in the course catalog. My kids’ STEM Design class is $60, which is very cheap compared to her out of school dance where I have paid $300 just for shoes this summer. Or my kids’ TKD helmet I had to buy for $100. We put money into things we value, and $30 for orchestra seems fine to me. I’m not thrilled to pay, but I’m not was never thrilled to drop a ton of money at Cox Farms in the fall and we do that too.Kids are expensive if you do the things they want to do. [/quote]
