I too hate fundraisers for school kids. Right now I have two little ones in the same school, and the book they are selling from is expensive. Then the incentives....sell this many or that much and you get to go in a limo for pizza. I hate that part too!! Some parents will go all out and buy, but not all parents can do that, so those little ones get leftout, and that just isn't fair. This time they told the kids not to go door to door, just have parents take the book to work or call on the phone to family and friends. Where these kids live, probably 3/4 of the parents work at the same place. My favorite fund raiser is when they sell candy bars for a $1.00. You get the bar right then, and I think most people will buy those. But I wish they would stop it entirely, just ask the parents for a donation, it is easier for everyone.
