Is it normal i find school fundraisers so annoying ?

ok apperently when they use to have fundriasers they let you go door to door with your fliers or your candy ? now they only let you sell too your familys and they do not allow you to go door to door ,and many school add a peniety like if they catch you they will illimunate you from the sales but encourage you too still sell . Am I the only one annoyed as it gives a very unfiar advantage to poeple with large family or rich family ? I do not have alot of rich family most poeple in my family can barely support themselves is it right we are excluded in this manner ? I do not think it is fiar .yes the person who sells usually has an extremly large family , usually very close to them or that all have a ton of cash thier willing to spend ? This is not fiar to us who do not have rich or large familys that we are encouraged to participate in something we know we can never win making us feel inattiquate .

    Let's check the list:

    [X] Atrocious spelling and grammar.
    [X] Childish, stream-of-consciousness writing.
    [X] Petty, nonsensical question.
    [X] I feel like fucking murdering something.

    Yep, it's gotta be Allistalla.

    Holy shit! That is some spelling and grammar! I've never seen a language actually getting raped. That made my heard hurt. I had to keep reading just to see if I could actually get through it. I copied it into Word and the spell-checking paper clip shot itself. Damn...

    School fundraisers are pretty annoying. Plus, it is unfair since some kids don't know people who can afford to buy what you're selling. The prizes are awesome but for me they were impossible to get.

      I dislike that schools will set up things to favor a certien groups of kids . I also find it wrong when they have contests for only certein kids like , ( were giving away a free computer you can only enter if your low income , hispanic, wear glasses , have oriental parents , have F in all your classes . Why would they seperate the kids we dont need seperation in schools but they always have to do something to seperate kids. Like the funsriasers cator to rich kids , the contest cator to poor and disabled poeple . Is it right that the schools seem to want to seperate race, money class , and children as a whole ? Also why is it our responsibility to get money for the schools do we not already spend a fortune on PE cloth and school things we buy for school ?

        I've never heard of disability programs like the free computer one you mentioned. The school fundraisers that I've done, everybody had a shot at getting that laptop. Schools are barely receiving any money, so I don't blame them for asking their students to help out. I just don't think it's fair since some kids have rich families and others don't.

      I know , its just not fair that a school is allowed to exclude us like that . I always new the kid that would get to that impossible 100 iteams sold , and that kid had a huge family all of his family including his parents were rich I think its unfiar to exclude us in this manner . Atleast if they tell us go door to door its fiar becuase whoever has the best pitch wins and even if someone does sell it all to rich family the rest of us still have a fighting chance rather than feeling like were losers becuase we cant support the schools when they that we have not got the means to even do so .

    I like to avoid people who are selling when I am not buying. One time mom asked me to get a cart outside the grocery store (got more than planned) I almost said no, because we already turned down the Girl Scout cookies once on our way in.

    Its actually a pretty good way to scam those rich families into giving something back to their community.. It just doesn't work as well for the poorer schools.

    When I was in school, we were permitted to go door to door, but they definatly didn't encourage it. My parents didn't allow me to do it either, and the reason for this is because of the potential dangers of it. The cases of pedophiles are being heard of far more now than they were decades ago, and although we had many of them then (don't get me wrong) not as many stories were heard of child rape and molestation were being spread as it is today, and people felt safer letting their children out (this information does not come from me but from elders I talked to, so if you want to argue, I'm not the person to do it with). But, the bottom line is, they're just trying to keep funraisers safe for kids. That's all.
