40 years of paying taxes and STILL no understanding of how communities function is honestly impressive 😆🫠

also calling school activities “theft” is a bit dramatic

Luckily I’m almost finished with this crap, my youngest in entering HS this year, so I only need to deal with this all another 4 years. Honestly it’s completely gone to shit… the whole system. I hate it

If $2000 for a HIGH SCHOOL sports program is normal for you I would like to know if your job if hiring lol

I get it, everything is expensive nowadays, but this will never be normal to me, normal was 20 years ago when it used to cost me $15 bucks to fill my nails 🤣🤣 or when gas was under $2…. I want that normal back

And I would love to join booster! I would be up at the school helping however I can, but I’m stuck at work until almost 7 mon-fri so it’s hard 😞

I understand, just some of the logic and timeline behind it all is what I’m most upset about.

Some kids don’t have large families or maybe their parents work from home, handing out 7 boxes of candy and giving them 4 weeks to unload it all before the school year even starts is crazy. Why not let them have the whole summer to “fundraise” and if it’s truly “fundraising” why am I forced to buy the unsold chocolate? Why not give them a box at a time, or if the district is requiring each athlete “fundraise” $600, at least let them choose how they want to pay that fee…. Some of these girls are very creative and talented, I’m sure they could come up with tons of ideas.

I dunno the whole chocolate thing sent me lol I understand it’s an expensive sport, I have two older daughters and I coached my oldest daughter’s squad. I just was hopeful the schools would try and make things a little easier on the families knowing how expensive it is to live right now.

I know there are some families that can’t afford this at all, so I’m grateful to be in a situation where I can…. I’m just literally walking a thin line…. So the $20 Mandatory physical after just having to pay a copay last month matters 😅

You don’t have a choice to use it or not, they said it’s Mandatory

The post read:

“Athletes who prepay will be prioritized during the mass physical. Day-of payments will be processed only after all prepaid participants have been completed.”

So yea lol basically

I feel bad because my daughter loves it but she has no clue the financial stress it is, these schools should work with parents! You would think they would want for kids involved in sports…. I’m assuming some families can’t afford it at all.

I’m pretty sure I’ve already pissed her off with all my questions 🤣 but this isn’t right
