This so rings true! The more funds are cut by the state, the more the answer seems to be fund raisers. While it does help, at least in the short term, for those schools whose families have money, it is causing an even greater disparity amoung those schools that have and those that do not, even between the 20 schools in our district. We are becoming publicly funded private schools, or privately funded public schools. Whichever fits better. The losers are the students from the poorest schools. I feel a commitment to support our public schools, though all this concentration on fund raisers has me considering homeschooling.
I just want the cheeky bottom swimsuits to go away…please.
