Thinking that that smelly white-trash sweatbitch, with more tattoos than teeth, has a hell of a lot of nerve banging on MY door and asking ME for money to help send HER kid to Canada!
SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Unfortunately, it's not a scam.
It sounds like one, but the school district has sanctioned having parents go door-to-door, letter from the school board in hand, asking for donations for the upcoming trip in the spring.
I'm fucking pissed about this!
I agree with Lucifer, but I have not perfected the retro-abortion, yet.
scam by any other name still says it all. Recently we had a boy with AS and ADHD canvas for funds to go to CHina. BUT, I know his mother, who is a fellow RN and he did make it to China and sent us the pictures and stories as proof. He is what he is and he did what he did.
I stand by what I said! School districts sanctioning anybody is no proof, I will always prefer to go by knowledge of the kid and the mother/parents. If I don't know them or the facts, they will get NO MONEY or SUPPORT.
NUFF SAID!!!!!
Yeah, that's why it pisses me off. The school district used their recommendation from a supposed position of authority to influence the public.
I was impressed, but NOT favorably.
School boards know Jack shit about the parents or the kid. I am so glad that I am a skeptical and cynical SOB!
I told her nicely to take a hike!
The thing is, the NCLB legislation allows additional monies to school districts which successfully promote and complete "certain diverse programs."
The meetings I have been to were mostly about what new way they could maximize their own federal subsidies for the school and the issues at hand with LOCAL bearing were considered to have already been "managed in the best interests" of all those involved.
You're right, though.
I, too, am ONE skeptical SOB when it comes to the politicians running and over-running the show.
I just don't know WTF to do about it all.
