[quote=Anonymous]I am a single mother that makes 55,000 per year! My son's father barely supports him! I have a home and my DS will be starting first grade at a private school this fall thanks to FA.  After reading this forum I am very worried about the mindset of parents towards families that receive FA! Are your kids going to bring dinner conversations into school?  If my child does not look "poor" enough is there going to be a mob of angry parents demanding my tax info!  I am a wonderful saver and shopper!  I do not shop often but when I do I love to shop  at second hand stores! My DS always looks great because his mother is a savvy shopper!  Are parents going to look him in possibly a name brand outfit and make assumptions?  Even though I may have paid LESS than Target prices!  If we go to the beach for the weekend and he comes to school and mentions it, are parents going to lose their minds?  I surely hope this is not the case!  Becase you will never hear me bragging about FA.  I am grateful, but hurt that I can not afford to send my child to this wonderful school with out assistance! However, if I were to even catch a wisper of some parent making a remark to me or my child that I feel is inappropiate I would/will confront that person!  KNOW for sure what you are talking about before you assume a situation!  Your gossip can hurt a child!  I surely hope this will never be the case but after reading this forum I am prepared to deal with any parent that thinks they have the right to make judgements about my FA situation!  So I urge you all to think about the damage you could do if you let your thoughts turn into words! [/quote]
