Do the parents in your country donate money to state schools for repairing,painting, cleaning etc.

What would happen if the school wanted 10 euros for each student for example?

I am an assistant to head teacher and really tired of begging money but none of them are eager.

I will be happy to hear the answers. Thanks in advance. Good evenings

Just like you, I �m growing fed up with people asking for more & not giving in return, if that �s your question...

I just don �t know the answer ; I guess it is a good thing for schools to be free ; I �m not asking for money.... BUT.... sometimes, I do wish people / parents cared a littlle bit more, & helped.

The French State gives parents an amount of money at the beginning of each school year - I �ve noticed my kids sometimes had the last I-pod, but no copybook....

I guess the society we are living in has gone "too far"; it seems to me something is "rotten" in this world ( W . Shakespeare..)

  People seem to be asking for more, again & again; & not willing to give in return, even for their own kids...

I �m from the (Lucky) ones who were educated at home ; this time has gone... 

But I would like everyone to get free & high education ; So, I do not have the answer....You �re asking about money, I �m answering about Love...

Best regards,

Val 

 

 

 

 

In our Ukrainian schools we "donate" money. Nobody is interested if you have money or not, but while my daughter was in the primary school we paid for everything. For the new desk for our teacher, for the blackboard, the new desks for students, the closet, the laptop and the printer for the teacher. For the huge TV in the classroom. We also paid for the repairs in the classroom. Now my children are in the secondary and the primary school correspondently. We paid for the windows, for the new heating system, for the blackboard. Now the teacher wants the parents to buy a TV. But we are all fed up with this situation. Our country is in the state of war now, it is very difficult and most families can hardly get by. The situation is out of control, the education in our country is supposed to be free, but unfortunately it is not so. 

In some schools, the parent teacher association  has fund raising activities (book sales, bake sales, car washes, silent auctions, selling tickets to student plays). The band sells band candy.
