We should give all children equal access to the best of all. Wouldn't that just make the world better for all of us? I'm sorry you had to feel this.

The fees for electives from yr 9, together with the excursion/activity fees & cost of upkeeping uniforms to 3 growing kids made it too hard to pay the "voluntary" contribution, so I only paid what I was able to manage. There should never be any retribution for families who are disadvantaged financially. Aren't schools are given funding to help kids that come from families that are doing it tough, so there is a benefit to schools to encourage kids to enrol?<BR/><BR/>I also had a big whinge about the proposed elitist (to me, anyway) Yr 10 mid-year ski trip, and end of year trip to the either the Gold Coast, or.... wait for it.... America. As far as I was concerned, only some of the kids could have gone, so how does that make it a "bonding" experience.... what about the ones that couldn't go, or worse, had parents who would over-extend themselves so that their kids wouldn't miss out?.. Elitist crap... a couple of days together at Nelson's Bay or up the North Coast would have been more appropriate.<BR/>In the end, the ones that would have always gone skiing with their family, did so. And the end of year trip was a fizzer... <BR/><BR/>Good on you for sticking up for yourself, Tania ;0)Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741387250033230745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069974921532976436.post-33397395665206861392008-11-20T17:14:00.000+11:002008-11-20T17:14:00.000+11:00Ha!

For every nice office lady, there are 2 that shouldn't be in any public interaction position. Its not hard to be nice, but these people seem to take pleasure in being bitches. It's not your fault that you arent rolling in money. Maybe that bitch hasn't been laid in a while.<BR/><BR/>Good on you though.

You just don't waste money on drugs and alcohol, and it very hard to ask for assistance but it does get easier when you practice a little.
