Sometimes I feel that the school is more focused in raising money for charity than in educating our children. I'm quite sick of the constant stream of requests for money and the latest one has really infuriated me. They're doing the smarties for lent scheme followed by so many churches and schools, only with a twist. Each child that brings a tube full of money will get a certificate in assembly. I mean, isn't that just disgusting???? Talk about presurising the parents into giving money so that they don't humiliate your child in front of their peers!! Do we just accept this? Is there no one we can complain to? (anonymously preferably)Children should be rewarded for hard work and not for bringing money (or rather their parents).
