[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every kid was required to buy one at our Arlington elementary for $5.  PTA funded those who didn't pay.  Also had the option to buy a second for home.

When I was kid in NY, we had to buy ours as well.  (I still have mine somewhere hidden after DD discovered it when she was 4 and we had to listen to her play it.)

I'm not a germaphobe, but sharing a recorder is just gross to me.  I played flute all through elementary, high, and college, and my parents rented my flute at first, then bought it after I was sticking with it.  All of my friends did the same.

We use the schools and like pp, our school also has a policy of loaning it to you for the year and you cross out the previous child's name. We took it home for a clean scrub. I don't see what is the difference between a recorder and why that is gross but using a rental flute isn't. Both have been used by someone else. My DD is now in band and also uses the school's clarinet with a used mouthpiece but her own reed. Sure there are teeth marks but we scrubbed it clean and I am sure she left some of her own on it too for the next child..... she didn't seem to mind.[/quote]
