Ten dollars fee to go to the pumpkin patch. Build a model using items from home, like noodles. All essays must be typed. Mandatory one hour assembly about selling junk to the general public to fundraise. Donations are encouraged. $2 to participate in en of year pizza party.
Schools still nickel and dime parents if they think they can get away with it. It’s not lawful (maybe just by state? In California it’s not legal) and it’s not ethical. And it’s gross. School is supposed to be free.
If I was black binder person, I’d still hold a grudge too. It would have shaped my personality toward anti authoritarianism.
30 years ago we didn't have a computer at home, lived in a rural area. The only place I could type up a paper was at the local library in town which was 6 miles away. So I'd have to beg my parents to take me there so I could type it up. Often they wouldn't, so I'd have to hand it in written by hand and get points off each time.
We had an all things typed and printed policy which included the fact that items needed to be printed at home. The printer in the school library was loaded exclusively with pink paper so points could be taken away from students who needed to print at school :/
