[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  But the basic issue is that even if you have moral objections to donations that pay for: pizza/treats/class parties/teacher gifts, most of the other parents are donating on your behalf.  If you're fine with being free rider, carry on.[/quote]

I don't know why I keep arguing on this thread, since I am someone who donates for everything.  I just find your mentality really weird.  I give the teachers gift cards for Xmas and end of year.  Some people don't.  I don't view my gift card as somehow donating on the behalf of people who don't give one.  Likewise, for parties, I always sign up on signup genius to send in something.  I'm sure there are parents who don't ever sign up.  At my school, some of those parents can't afford it.  Some don't speak English and don't even know what is requested.  Some are just really busy.  I couldn't care less that their kids are eating the grapes or drinking the juice I provided.  It's really not a big deal.  It's all voluntary, which means that I have the right to contribute or not as I see fit.  Just because I choose to contribute doesn't give me any rights to decide what other people should contribute.  [/quote]
