Surprised the cop didn’t just outright shoot your kid.

It is crazy to me that I can just walk down the street to a store, buy some pot and wave at a cop on the way out. Even crazier is that my kids schools fundraising auction has weed gift baskets donated every year from the local dispensaries.

Even crazier that your school has to do fundraising :(

Fundraising typically isn’t something they have to do. That’s a wild leap. It’s usually just for an extra field trip or something.
And more importantly, it gives kids real experience

I’d count a field trip under the “crazy they have to fundraising”
I could see it if the fundraising is for an after school club trying to go on a trip?
But if the class were going to the museum or something, there should be a budget for that.

I mean our school had trips to Israel, Greece and Colorado (from UK). I know my parents payed money, but idk how much or if it was subsidized/fundraiser for.
Local trips should be free. Tbh as an adult I don’t like that the less fortunate kids were most likely excluded from the International trips.
Also: we got stupid drunk in Greece age 15, I nearly got a tattoo. And free Palestine 🇵🇸

We had fun fundraising so I’m kinda surprised to see it from your point of view. It does kinda suck now that you mention it lol
We had bake sales, BBQs, auctions, guessing the number of candies in a jar etc… but I guess it all came out of our parents’ pockets when they already were paying through taxes.
