T...You women have left me feeling like I was right! Thanks for that. It just seems wrong to put any price on our kids projects like this. Then you will have the kids saying "my parents paid $$$ for my art". You will have other kids feeling dejected because their art was not as valuable. It is ridiculous to associate any currency amount with school art projects. <br /><br />The entire reason for this fundraising project---to restock the art-room. Tell me it isn't so next year they can sell me more of my kids art. <br /><br />UGHHH! I will buy it but I won't be happy about it, and now I am not afraid to say why!<br /><br />Thanks ladies, You rock!Tamis Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478543041875155264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2336989841750577523.post-65220236455452402222009-05-06T18:34:00.000-07:002009-05-06T18:34:00.000-07:00Oh...that would make me crazy!

But what will they do with all the kids whose parents can't afford the ransom? Maybe they'll have them make more art for sale?? <br /><br />Be brave. Explain to your kids what is wrong with this program and go to the principal.

Seriously, you need to lodge a complaint with the principal...this is just short of lunacy. If you aren't happy with his answer, take it to your school board representative. Don't stop until you feel this is justified as a good thing.<br />Whatever happened to good old $1 candy bars? Now that was a win-win situation!<br />Debbietrash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2336989841750577523.post-51549305016725781382009-05-06T11:15:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:15:00.000-07:00That is un-freaking-believeable! That really gets ...That is un-freaking-believeable! That really gets me fired up. They have absolutely no right to make money off the kids talents. Could there possibly be a lawsuit there somewhere? Is it stated anywhere that anything created by the kids is the property of the school? That money should go to the KIDS if anywhere, and screw the idea that it is going "back" to the kids in the form of school activities, etc. BULL! I was an artistic kid in school and if my teachers would have told me that I had to make art for my parents to BUY, I would have created the ugliest piece of crap they had ever seen. No WAY would I do that. (Of course, I probably would not have understood then, but still!) AND my family would have been one of the poor ones that wouldn't have been able to afford it and probably couldn't attend anyway because my dad worked so much and mom was sick! OOOOOH! Sorry for the long rant, but that just really peeves me. One more reason to homeschool. Public school is RIDICULOUS (ever listen to Neal Boortz? He has a thing or two to say about Public School too) Good luck with all this. I hope you let your voice be heard. Somebody needs to stand up and say something before things go WAAY too far! ok, I am done =)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566325403135089728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2336989841750577523.post-57434564698001380602009-05-06T07:21:00.000-07:002009-05-06T07:21:00.000-07:00That is an AWFUL idea.
