Really, it just leads to more increased dependance amongst the parents. It's $8 and the family can come up with the money. The family has to make a choice - buy one less convenience item that week vs. send their kid on the field trip.

It's not sweet, or cute, or helpful. It's the opposite. It creates a constant stream of dependance.

You're an awful person.[/quote]

I didn't say they were wrong. I said they were awful. And I'll add- lacking empathy, compassion, and goodwill.[/quote]

PP (one who labeled another as an awful person), you need to make a better argument rather than name calling. It takes away from your stance.  I am a person who always pay extra for the field-trip fund, yet I have no beef with those who do not want to donate.

You have to realize that this is a kind of charity.  People should give charity because it makes them feel good. They should not be forced to give charity. This is like extortion. People who feel self-righteous about telling others to donate or volunteer and feel angry if others don't, are no better than those they are angry at.

PP would be an awful person only if they stole money from field trip fund or prevented others from donating to the fund.  [/quote]
