Wwptd?

I think, given the age of the children, it should be sent from the whole class. It isn't like 3-year-olds have their own income to contribute, and its not a child's fault if the parents doesn't have the cash!

Ditto. Why make some kid and parent, who don't have the money, feel even worse and be left out?! I'd rather just see that it was from the entire class, rather than pointing out this one and that one. That's childish and petty.

Or chose not to participate, or got another gift, etc.

I love the title of your thread! Wwptd? Made me laugh You obviously have a good heart and don't need the "credit" for being one of the contributors. Unfortunately, some people will feel that those who didn't give shouldn't receive "credit" I like your way of thinking better!

I think that by putting "from everyone" and sending the email out to everyone-contribution or not is fair enough.

Here's my corrupt take on it.


IF I HAD A KID in the class?

I don't have the money to participate?

I would have emailed back If I could help another way?

I put down that I'll bake a cake? Spend an afternoon helping out?
What does a case of those bug juice/cartons cost?
I know not everyone can drink that crap.
A few boxes of granola, cookies?

"This treat sponsored by.......?"


I think that in lieu of a contribution that maybe they could have given the option to donate time, baked goods, a class treat?

My siblings and I always go together to give my parents a gift for Christmas (housecleaning service for the next year.)

One of my sisters can never pay her proportionate share. This year she could pay nothing.

Nonetheless...the certificate is ALWAYS from all of us.

whihc reminds me....the others haven't sent me their checks yet...off to send some emails!

I agree. In our terrible economic times, people should not be left out of events such as this because of money.

I think that you are completely right. I would have done the same thing in sending the reply for everyone to consider.
