False. Some PTOs (which spend hundreds of thousands each year at their own schools) donate some of their funds (<5%) to other PTOs. That's frankly still pretty fraught but a long, long way from rich tweens having an extravagant party "to benefit" another school like baby socialites.

I don't get the joke attempt.

Shouldn't Ballou, the school with the cool new $120 million building, be the one fundraising for Wilson?


It wasn’t a joke, Mark, it was an analogy.


As an analogy it makes no sense, that's why I assumed it was a joke.


I think it's apt.

Does Wilson have a similar program and impact?

Nope...different structure and ability to deliver results.


There is no free tuition at Cristo Rey. The families pay part, the employer where the student works an internship one day a week pays part and a small part is scholarship. These kids work really hard. No handouts.

What was the drama last year?


Sheri told Carly if she likes Christo Rey so much she should just go there and Carly was super mad because, like, she has a Prada bag and Sheri only has one Longchamps and Sheri's dress had black straps which was clearly discussed at the meeting and all the kids from Christo Rey agreed that they would prefer people adhere to the dress code to show respect for what is a really good cause.


Funny! Except substitute Sheri with Lily, because they’re not in their 40’s.

Or maybe a completely drunk kid who threw up at the check in stand and then had to be taken away in an ambulance and was hospitalized for several days.


probs one of the poor kids let's hope he appreciated everything the host girls did for him
