$$$$$ Back To School $$$$




Is everyone ready for school?
What ever happened to just new backpacks, pencils, paper, notebooks, clothes to look super hot and cool, haircuts and styles to look even hotter? Don't forget, now there are all the school dues...maybe that's only high school students x 2.
Yearbooks ( DVD is extra $), locker fees, Day Planner, Student Body Card (skyrocketed $$), parking permit, if needed, P.E. t-shirt and equipment, Technology fee ( required by all students to pay for their new science wing) Dance and cheerleading squad( if needed), Band fees, Spanish Immersion Grad fees? International HS fees? and last but not least...Senior Graduation fees. Everything listed costs a grand total of $546.00. I have two children in high school.... what if they both needed all these fees? It would have to cost $1092.00!!!!! Who's getting screwed here?
Well, my two kids don't need all that, some things are optional, but not many. My daughter is a Sr. and now has to pay extra fees. I think it's just so crazy!!!!
Is this what it has all come down to in the 4J public school system? Is there a reason for all of this? Please help me understand!

That is what it comes to in nearly every public high school, and it is hitting the middle/JR highs now too.
What I want to know is if parents are footing the bill on all of this, where is our tax money going? And ESPECIALLY all that money from the Lottery? All that money being pumped in through the largest gambling ring on the planet and parents are still forking out hundreds of $$$$ to send their kids to PUBLIC school??? I'd like to see what kind of cars the administrators are driving.
On another note.... LOVE the Picture!!
