I have to commend the PTA and McDonald's for coming up with a creative twist on the old, buy some chocolate bars or wrapping paper fund raising schemes.
What I want to understand better, is this a fund raiser for the PTA to support social events or is it a fund raiser to support the school's budget? If it is the former, it's not all that bad. If it's the latter, this is not a good solution.
School funding should not come from sources such as these. Schools should be properly funded to start with.
In the grand scheme of things, would I rather not see McDonald's or other fast/junk food merchants in bed with out schools? Absolutely not. But what is the difference between selling chocolate bars door to door and McDonald's? Not a heck of a lot.
