DD has been given the Young Writers Once Upon a Time Creative Writing Competition for homework. It says, "Your mini saga could be published in a Young Writers book". The mini saga is just 100 words which is a ridiculous word limit for an adventure story. I suppose it cuts the costs of publishing though.
My understanding via previous threads on Mumsnet is that every child will have their story chosen and published and that this is going to cost me c.£18 - oh and my child's data is going to be passed to a 3rd party without my permission - I can see no box on the form for parental consent.
GRRRR!
What do I do about this stupid fund raising exercise? I'm incensed that the school is doing this - basically extorting money out of parents like this.
