Okay, well I can only draw the parallel so many times before the concrete wall starts to hurt my forehead. I've already resigned that there is a difference between PTA funding and school funding. I failed to see that clearly at first. It doesn't change that they are both still either inappropriate or appropriate<-- there is that parallel again, or is one of them neither of those?
To clarify, people seem to think that my daughter came home from a PTA meeting and asked to go to McDonald's. She didn't. She came home from public school and claimed we needed to go to McDonald's. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that my daughter came home from school suggesting that there was voluntary prostitution that evening where the pimp was only going to keep 80% of the girls' money and the rest went to field trips(I'm am using an extreme here again intentionally to draw a clear dichotomy between appropriate vs. inappropriate). In this case, if revenue generated is the ONLY thing taken into account, it is perfectly acceptable. Surely we can agree though that this falls under the 'inappropriate' category. This indicates that we likely agree that there are other variables to account for in the risk/benefit analysis than dollars.
Again; can we stop acting like there is no line to be drawn and start talking about where the line should be drawn?
