San Diego Unified charges all kinds of illegal fees
"Another example was a math course syllabus from the School of Creative and Performing Arts. Students were required to purchase notebook paper, a three-ring binder, and a $100 TI-84 graphing calculator." Really? Seriously? School can't expect families to pay for notebook paper or binders? The law is the law, but this is going to have unintended consequences. Take Title 9 for example. Title 9 ensures equal spending for male and female sports at the high school and collegiate level. The unintended consequence of this was that rather than spend more on female sports, universities slashed spending on male sports down to match. Schools do not have the money to finance all the various sports that the students and communities want so the real consequence of this will the elimination of most if not all extracurricular activities. The only survivors will be those sports that have enough community support to be self-sufficient. So rather than having to find $100.00 to play a school sport these families will be left with only one option for their children to be involved in sports; paying thousands of dollars to enroll them in club sports.— March 19, 2010 10:04 a.m.
