We had to say no to their 58 dollar yoga and extra math classes and getting our child's art put onto a mug for 30 bucks each...yep I could have 3 precious cups for the low low cost of 90 bucks. I hate the feeling stingy but at some point enough is enough. What happened to lining the kids up for a tacky class picture while saving year books for high school and making paper name tags for field trips to the zoo that the school paid for?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701898498570467651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20783950.post-6484042303931781232008-10-28T10:07:00.000-04:002008-10-28T10:07:00.000-04:00I noticed the same thing when my kids started pres...I noticed the same thing when my kids started preschool. Now, in elementary school, it's even worse! They wear uniforms to school and on 'dress down' days they make the kids pay $1 to wear street clothes to school. Not to mention snacks, book orders, fund raisers, yearbooks, and of course school logo attire. I was more staunch about not buying extra things last year, but when your kids look up at you and ask for a Jamestown tshirt they can wear to school spirit day it's hard to say no.Lynzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182828435028394838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20783950.post-29561552042175485922008-10-25T14:48:00.000-04:002008-10-25T14:48:00.000-04:00That is a lot of extra stuff for the school to hav...That is a lot of extra stuff for the school to have you pay for in only 2 months! Our school has a limit on how much they can ask parents to pay for in a year. After that limit has been met, they have to plan things differently. They also have to let the parents know the amount a year ahead of time. I'm feeling for you. I whould have never suspected that a pre-school would have a "hoodie" or a yearbook.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845918936619163804noreply@blogger.com
