First of all, who are we supposed to solicit for money?
Everyone I know has school-aged kids who are also fundraising right now. The only people I’d feel comfortable asking are those without kids. So, basically our parents. I can’t send my kindergartener door to door requesting cash from strangers. Maybe I’d feel more comfortable if they were equipped with a box of candy bars or coupon books. But flat out asking for money really rubs me the wrong way. This isn’t how the real world works.
I grew up like this and can remember distinctly the feeling in my stomach every time the teacher brought up something “fun” that required money from home. Most of the time I didn’t even bother asking my parents. Even though it was essentially my choice not to participate, I still felt like garbage being the only kid usually sitting out.
The school sent pictures from the event in their digital newsletter later that day. I could see my son in the background, biting his lip the way he does when he’s trying not to cry. Picture after picture of kids having fun and mine, blurred in the periphery thinking he was being excluded because he failed to bring money.
