[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC went to a Title 1 school. In Kindergarten there were many FARMS and ESOL students. On Valentine's Day there was a class party - and the ESOL and FARMS parents were walking in with cakes and trays of muffins from Costco. And flowers for the teachers. Easily spending $25. Maybe it is a cultural thing and they will spend lavishly on their kids and the teachers. But - I would prefer that they contribute instead to things like field trips. Here is my suggestion. Make each family donate $1 to the school fund every week. That will be enough to fund many things in the school. Almost $40 per family per year or more. Multiply it by 300 and you have $12,000 for a lot of academic clubs, a lot of enrichment - and it empowers everyone.[/quote] You're saying that families should spend their money the way you want, instead of the way they want.[/quote]
