[QUOTE="JonDough, post: 2465870, member: 24427"] Back when my kid was in school, we got hit with the old "our school doesn't have enough money for supplies...well first of all we the parents were buying more than enough supplies for our child, PLUS buying extra. We bought extra and delivered the stuff. We were always willing to help out as were MANY MANY other parents and grandparents. Then i sent two emails out to the super's office offering to raise supplies, funds, whatever they needed. JUST NAME IT. I was at that time in a situation to raise a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of anything they needed...and yanno what, no one would even return an email. After putting in a phone call, getting my message "taken" by a worker, i STILL didn't get any reply, so screw'm. The next time i got one of those letters that was sent home with my child, i turned it over and wrote them back telling them that they can go buy the stuff themselves. I Also once went and bought 30 pairs of safety goggles for the elementary school because the science teacher was doing an 'experiment" and some little girl got vinegar in her eye (while not vision threatening, i guess it caused strife) and the reason for not having eye protection was that the school "couldn't afford it". REALLY??? Bottom line on our deal was, while always pleading poverty, the school system here balked at accepting the help they actually ASKED for. When it came down to it, I THINK that if they received LOTS of help, they wouldn't be ABLE to plead poverty, therefore would be off the financial giving radar. And if it got out that the community was so willing to help (NOT THRU TAXES) It would hamper the amount of money they could get thru the SYSTEM. Hmmmmmmmm Who knows....... [/QUOTE]
