A friends recent post made me think about fundraisers. What does that money go to? I talked to teachers and administrators and finally found some answers.
If the cash is generated by kids then it must be spent on the kids. That's awesome. I was a bit worried about some PTO/PTA group using the money for a nice little trip somewhere. Also the cash can be used to pay for award ceremonies or even floor mats at the doors. I thought both of those things were awesome until I thought about it a little more.
The places that should be teaching our most valuable resource don't have enough cash to do the things they need to do. In order to make up that pitfall we have the kids shill cookies and candy.
How in the hell did we get so messed up?
