School Fees Are Illegal

Yes, I am entitled to my opinion just like Sally. The district can ill afford the expense of sports and music which is why parents donate money - to keep them going. Colleges look for well rounded students, those who have played sports, performed in their school bands, etc. Sally certainly has her opinions, I see them often. What I don't see is balanced reporting. To capture the complete story you need to interview more than one person.

School Fees Are Illegal

#43....you made some good points. The majority, 9 out of 12 members, saw fit to vote her off the SSC. There does seem to be a story here but without The Reader interviewing people from both sides of the spectrum this article seems incomplete. Is there some child who was denied a sport or something? Usually those who pay carry those who can't (or choose not to)...so what is the problem? Griping about a $100 donation for swim...which covers the cost of suit (which they keep) and a portion of their banquet sounds like a bargain! I wish more schools charged so little!
