school fundraisers - forced on kids or parents

school fundraisers were started so the under priveledged children had a way to participate in school affairs such as trips.
they were NEVER forced upon any child and NEVER forced upon the parents.
It was elective to participate!
the pottsville area school district has made it into a greedy money making extortion.
a letter was sent home saying that class dues were $4. a year and candy $40. was all due by oct 29th and "must be" paid or a fine will be issued.
thats a total of $56. plus any fines.
the fines will be placed on the student and that student will not graduate until all fines are paid.
who does the school think they are? a court?
who are they to impose fines on the kids or the parents? who are they to demand that these kids sell or buy this stuff; or thier parents?
these teachers get enough money and every benefit known and yet they want more.
there are teachers who need to be put out of the teaching career; playing cards instead of teaching, touching female students, walking out of class cause they cant control 1-2 students, having seizures in class, taking days off to go to a football game in another state, and the best one is taking off with full pay to get surgery (when it could and should have been done over the summer).
the teachers and superintendent and school board need to be replaced, fired, and or jailed.

all schools do that, before i graduated, i had to pay 65.00 for my cap and gown, and school dues...jesus christ.. cant wait to see this in the paper

Not all schools. The one I graduated from NEVER had fundraisers. It was a private school. The parents paid TUITION for the children to attend.

The public school gets tax dollars, grants, etc. It should live within its means instead of throwing fundraisers at the families.

The prom and whatever else should be handled like the football game. If you attend you pay to get in! Not forced on the children and families--sell the product or you buy it!!!!

lets see if we got this straight:
marlboro man came from hazelton in his 92' accord listening to metallica and masterbating his vagina. THATS WHAT HIS PROFILE READS!
and he looks like hes doing just that in his picture! His posts are full of hatred and are incoherent without purpose and without merit.
poor meth head pimplepuss kid!

This is a free country; and anything forced upon kids or adults is simply "treasonous".

Be careful John. The information, or intel as you like to call it, is not public information and is not intended to be posted on the world wide web. If the teachers that you speak of above find that you are posting PERSONAL information about them without written consent you can be in legal trouble. In addition, you are not hearing about it first hand. This is considered hearsay. It has been told to you through another party probably your children. Therefore, it can not be taken as accurate information. Unless the act has been witnessed by yourself or heard by yourself, you can NOT consider it FACT. These are basic priciples that are taught at Fort Holibird.(If you were ever there???)

correct in your thoughts hello, however not correct in the assumptions. the pottsville area schools all have cameras and video that they use and can be tapped into by anyone with the knowledge to so. there are many children who carry cell phones in school and who video everything from teachers yelling at students for no reason to teachers who are playing poker to having seizures and striking kids, they video other kids fighting and smoking and actually some take the video of where they are buying the smokes.
this is also taught as "doing your homework" "getting sources" and collecting the FACTS.

In the Allentown area as well as many other areas in it against school policy to use cell phones during school hours. This policy was put into effect due to students using cell phones to cheat on tests. Therefore, they may only keep them in their lockers or school bags. Hence, if a child has video taped such school activities they are breaking school policy.
Second, there is no way that a school has a camera in every corner of the school. We can't so Im sure you guys cant! SO even if you "can" tap into there video taping system, there is no way to view what it happening in the classroom. By the way, Have you ever used a home video camera? It is the same technology. It is not broadcasted over the cable network for all to see or anyone to tap into along the cable lines. Nor is it Wi-Fi, were one could pick up the signal. I know you credit yourself with an extensive line of security experience and education; however, I think you missed this class at Fort Holifird.

i guess "hello" is the next scoobie right? im glad that someone is busting your lies and stories. too bad the agencies you complained to about the infamous scoobie, dont read your blogs, because they are probably frightened of your capabilities........ we'll leave that alone.

hello; they dont teach everything in school, especially counter intelligence and espionage.
there are lots of things you must learn in the field by experience. there are other sources as well like tricks that the cia use.
but for you to get into the electronics surveillence and counterterrorism stick to what you know.

I am speaking from the knowledge I have acquired. This is why I can speak to you on this subject. Don't you remember the information that was taught at Fort Holifird. I have to say it has saved my life on several situations. I assume you are aware of the patriot act.

acquired where on the net?

The Patriot Act, John

hey I got 7 of the little tikes runnin loose and Im with you on that point; seems every time we turn around the school is sending something home to sell; (us the parents either buy it or sell it)
good point!

When my kids bring home the fundraising crap, I toss it in the garbage.

You see mr policeman; you posted at the same time as colonel jr and scoobie from pottsville; in this posting you said your kids; the real colonels kids are IN school and have no offspring yet.
You keep making the mistakes; and yet you hide behind your computer like a little school girl being a bully.
why dont you come clean? why dont you air your real reasons your attacking?
I took notice that you said the colonel was scared to go to the press with stories, but wnep and the local paper both jumped on the school story and are still working on a different angle.
SO WHO"S SCARED? HE ISNT
YOU are the ONLY one HIDING behind your keyboard.
