We never had to pay for pads-you just had to go to the counselors office and ask for one

gosh, when i was in home ec. i guess, i don't know if that was the name of the class or not, but we never had to buy things, the only project we did have to pay for was only like $5.00 and it was to buy a kit, something with the materials to make a pillow or boxers ( i made boxers) for the sewing part...i even had a history teacher that would bring food from home (eggs, floir, biscuits, bacon) and take us all into the kitchen room (lab) and make us breakfast every once in a while...it was nice to be a senior..lol.
In my sewing class we had to buy the fabric/pins/pin cushion/patterns, etc. We had to sew a skirt/shirt/dress (for girls), guys could choose pants/shorts/jacket and pillows in the shap of out first initial.

When I was in school, if you forgot your pad/tampon you were sol unless you had money for the machine in the girls room.

I did have to pay for my material for dress(or whatever)in high school but the cooking class we all went shopping as a class and everyone had their own lists and the school paid for it all.
We never did anything like that. When we got to class, the teacher had already bought ALL ingredients for whatever we were makign that day. Each group usually made the same thing..we only made a differnt item at the end of the year..we each had to pick a diffent pie to make. The day after choosing the pies, the teacher would have the ingredients, and recipies ready for us.

AKA The Bad Kitty
This will just prove that I'm an old geezer-ett surrounded by meezers (the Attack Cats!)....when I was in school the only things we had to pay for was band camp and if the band went on a MAJOR trip (like to Disney World). But for the major trips we had fundraisers to help off set the cost. Man, am I THAT old?!?!

JENNIFERCATLADY, I guess we are both ancient!, when I was in school if you needed a pad you just went to the nurses office! ImaGApeach, you must be right up there with us old folks.LOL My daughter is going to San Antonio with the school Choir to Fiesta Texas this summer and they are only going for the day mind you and it is costing me 320.00!!!!!, and like I said she is only in the 7th grade.... I am afraid to see what happens when she gets to High School

What I want to know is WHERE is all this money from those Mystical Magical Lotteries that have been implemented in nearly every state. I thought THAT was the cure-all for lack of educational funds. Hmmmm......

In our school here the kids have to pay for everything. It seems like every day my son is telling me he needs money for this or that. We're going to Texas the end of April for band and it cost over $400 just for my son! They even raised money for the trip and still needed that much! The schools here in Arkansas are all in a bind. They have been fighting for over a year to consolidate some of the schools that don't have many students. Lucky ours school is not getting axed. It's really sad that they are having to consolidate because of lack of money. If they would spend the money for the right things they wouldn't have to do this. Our school seems to think that sports is more important than anything. When it comes to the band we have to raise all the money needed and when one of the sports needs money they always seem to find it for them! It just irks me the way things are going on in the schools today.
