Overheard some moms moaning about it in the playground yesterday. Fundraiser for the PTA -- letter came home with some A4 artwork done by the children in school, which you can get made into 12 custom-Xmas-cards (see here). PTA gets a £1 for each pack.
Part of me just thought... then don't buy it! But then there's pester power if your child really wants you to... I know one of the mothers complaining is pretty skint (but hand on heart, I reckon she's not that skint).
Was it cheeky of the PTA to do this fundraiser? None of it was my idea, and I will be buying 3 sets of cards (3 DC at the school), but I'm worried about negative feeling backlash.
