[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are at an MCPS focus school and the school has a fund to help pay for field trips for any child that can't afford it.  No child will be turned away due to lack of funds.[/quote]

So any parents who don't pay for any reasons still gets their kid on the field trip?  That is enabling at its finest. [/quote]

No, it's letting the kid go on the field trip. Otherwise you're punishing the kid for choosing the wrong parents to be born to.[/quote]

Yes but there need to be consequences for poverty too… if everything is provided for 'fairness' sake then what is the impetus to pul one out of poverty. We were not riches a child, I didn't get what the other children had, it was a motivation for me to work hard and now I'm much better off for it not only materially but as a person. If we 'reward' poverty then there is no impetus for others to improve their lives. Two important life's lesson is being denied these children when everything is being provided gratis. 1)  That not everything is entitled, not everyone is equal, and that we can get along with others because they are richer or poorer because that's what Americans do.

All that said… I agree with us providing charitable support for children but I think its necessary children understand they are getting a charity.[/quote]
