really?


I just answered our front door. There was a kid there, about 10.

KID: "would you like to donate money to our elementary school"

I am kinda dumbfounded at that and look at his plain manila envelope with a sheet of white paper with the name of the school in plain type and then some lines with 1 person's name and amount they gave.

KID: "It's for a jog-a-thon.

ME: "when is the jog-a-thon" (the paper has no info besides school name, kid's name, and 1 donation)

KID:" I dunno. They didn't tell us."

ME: "No I don't want to donate."

Well, either it was a scam or a good example of what we get for our tax dollars. :/

I kinda think it may be the later. a prime examples of the education/schools here. I have kids come before with cookie forms and have no clue as to anything or what 10% of the price is (like 6th graders) or where to sign the form. or anything.

What kind of parent lets their kid at 10 go door to door alone?

And every fund raiser we've done specificly says DO NOT go door to door.

Something smells funny, and it's not the kids gym shorts after his jog...
