I feel that the school collects way to much money for extras.. just the other day I gave my son 8 $ for a trip to the jungle gym. then the next day my dauther came home she needs 13 $ for purom money .. they give all the teachers a communal gift.. I feel this is a waste of my money.... I pay eneough tutuion and I dont feel I have to support every stushe ..maybe I am wrong in my feelings... but it adds up.. then the next day my 3rd son came home with a note that he is the choosen child to bring a nash for the shabbos party ... then I had a dega vue when my dauther pranced in opened her lunchbox and voila anther note she is the shabbos mommei. then my son walkes in the door and I told him you dont have to tell me I know u are the shabbos tatie.. right .. he asked me how I knew .... 3 kids in the same week... that means 3 big bags of chips and 3 containers of jellies !!!!! it all adds up over ten dollars for sure.
I would like to know what other parents pay for their kids stuff .. I am still very young and new to this game.

Raizy don't you mean by your title then, collecting money for the kids, rather then from 
I totaly understand your point and I think at P.T.A meetings there should be talks about this stuff, since I'm sure you are not the only parent to feel that way.
I know of a Beis Yakkov School that limits birthdays extravaganzas, Bas Mitzvahs and when buying teachers gifts there's rules for that too.

 Psssss I failed too 
It's a real issue but the only ones in my humble opinion, which I value greatly who could really help would be the parents board or committee to come together w/h alternatives to this crazy and unfortunatley common scenerio.
B"h w/h us here in the woods it's not as bad as you have it. And parents do speak up and are heard.

I once registered for a cheap camp - well, I payed the difference in various 'fees'. Next year I sent to a more expencive camp, but I payed & had no surcharges!!
go figure!
BA'H, we don't have too many co-pays yet.
Just Shabbos parties, for which I bake to save the $ + my kids feel special bringing the stuff they made themselves!

every school always have extra's, but maybe you can sudgest that you give 50 for a slush fund and don't ask me for any more money through out the year wheither purim baskets for teachers. in my day we would bring food per teacher not money, and it was divided by the class so it ended up being 6 dollars. I know in my days we would send in money every time a teacher had a baby. and what chutzpa when we asked what they needed, they always ans. the most expensive stroller or high chair. I remember my mother fuming when I asked her for 10 dollars and this was the 3rd teacher that yr to give birth.

don't you have the shulchan aruch that says "kol yimai chayecha lehuvi momoyn laday school?"
"all the days of you life to give money to the day school?"
yep same problem here- every day its another mandatory reason why I have to give $$
take the $50 mandatory family obligation to buy school raffle tickets. so we decided not to do it- what are they gonna do- break into my bank account?
well they call me up the day of the deadline tell me that I will be charged $50 extra on tuition regardless of wether I buy tickets or not. so I say well if you are blackmailing me anyway why did you bother to call me?
we have journal adds, raffle tickets scholl rosh chodesh lunches, gift for teacher, pta dues women leugue dues, basket dues, bake sales, shaloch manos in lieu of's, gosh the list is endless.
this year I am ignoring them all.
