Today was a sponsored obstacle course at school, I have already asked family to sponsor a penalty shoot out this year and I felt bad enough doing that. I wasn’t sure who/what the sponsor was even for, another parent at the event said the same. The amount of trips, money each day for tuck shop toast, replacing damaged or lost uniform and coats, then there is a disco tonight which will be £2. The pressure to afford your kids to keep up in school is bad, there shouldn’t feel this financial pressure for school!
