Those who qualify for free lunch are the kids I worry about most. We donate our books to our zoned public (where a majority qualify for free lunch), we always go to their fair and spend $s, and I am trying to arrange my schedule so I can tutor there next year, but I'm sure some PTA parents at our G&T will consider me a traitor, since we don't donate much time or money to DC's school, since many parents seem to be jockeying to give the most when we have so much and other wonderful kids in our nabe really need more.

If someone has no empathy, presumably they won't feel badly about that fact. [ Reply | More
