[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 341742, member: 4264"] I loathe these types of fundraisers. Completely. I remember similar things as a child and being so hurt. Now easy child goes through it. She is often the one who gets nothing when the others all do. She refuses to send any out except to her teacher. They do this at Christmas, Vday, Easter etc. It is a horrible thing in my opinion. I know kids need to learn disappointment etc, but this is a brutal and in my thinking, cruel, way to learn that lesson. Last year she had me make homemade fudge for the whole class to give out with Valentines. she got 4 Valentines in return and only the teacher thanked her for the treat. Tough times being a kid nowadays :(. [/QUOTE]
