[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people support fundraisers where the child has to do some type of work or interact (Girl Scout cookies; pancake breakfasts, car wash, bake sales, etc.). I am not a fan of fundraisers where a parent sends me a link asking for a donation to a cause I don't care about, providing something I don't want, and doesn't appear to teach the kid anything.

I disagree in this case. The car wash or GS cookies are to benefit a team for some activity or for the Girl Scouts to go on a fun trip, it's nice to have but not necessary. I don't think the kids need to learn the lesson of finding donors to provide the school with things they need because there aren't enough books, computers, decent playground equipment or whatever else they are fundraising for that benefits the entire school, even the kids who didn't raise any money. The kids shouldn't be in charge of doing any of this really, the adults should stepping up without waiting for the kids to ask.[/quote]
