[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On principle, I refuse to donate to my child’s school. Although I can afford it. [/quote]

Do you allow your child/children to participate in PTA-supported events at the school?  If so, you are a free-loader. [/quote]

Agree. People who pick a well-supported school and then refuse to help support the school are the lowest of the low.[/quote]

No, they are DC residents who have a right to send their kids to public school.

As others have mentioned, it’s an arms race, and nothing will ever be enough for some parents. We are at another JKLM, and it’s the same way there (although with less obnoxious tactics); the things wealthy parents believe their kids are entitled to—and that they should be able to buy via PTA fundraising—is mind-blowing.

FWIW, we always contribute the full requested amount at our school. But I don’t question for a moment the parents who choose not to or simply can’t. Their children have a right to be at the school and to take advantage of whatever programs and resources the school has decided to offer. It’s pernicious to impose additional commitments of time or money because a subset of wealthy parents demand it.[/quote]

Can't and won't are two different things. [/quote]
