[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 341584, member: 135"] Yeah, when I taught we had the same thing. Valentine cards were for everybody. The rule was, if you brought any, you bought them for everybody. But the fundraiser thing was sometimes a problem. I taught in a very small school so the people in charge made sure that everybody got at least one (they would send one anonymously to kids who didn't get one; other kids sent them anonymously so nobody knew) but I can see that that would be almost impossible in a larger school. Like a lot of things, it started out as a good idea to raise funds for a worthy cause, but sometimes the outcomes are unexpected. I'm not sure they should abandon the fundraiser because some kids don't get included though (they have to learn about the real world sometime) but having the parent send one sounds like a good idea. Isn't it too bad that no good deed or intention seems to go unpunished? [/QUOTE]
