[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With 2 kids at Mann, we donated over $6500 last year, when you add up all the other fundraisers. I consider it a bargain, since we get private school quality in our neighborhood school (and as a previous poster noted, it's a lot less than the full time nanny we used to pay for). The majority of this goes to staff: the assistant teachers who bring down student:teacher ratios to private school levels, the science teacher even for preK students, tons of PE, and performing arts. Others in my area pay $30,000 a year per student for similar things. I also know there are many in my neighborhood who can't pay the $1500 requested, and we are happy to help support those families. The PTA does a good job of making sure all they ask is participation; $10 per family. It bothers me a lot that there are people who don't pay that token amount. [/quote] will you plan to send your kids to Hardy from Mann?[/quote]
