I have no problem with schools charging for consumable products or items that are optional for students.
Firstly I would say that every state and every distict is different and while yes everyone is entitled to free public education, there are some fees that are legal to charge, but it will vary depending on your state laws.
I don't feel that it's right to nickel and dime parents.

OMGosh...you have touched on my DH's hot button. he gets PISSED talking about
>>>but I giggle at that term b/c they hit you up with hundreds of dollars in "hidden" extra fees<<
tis true...as when we lived in CA, I had to pay for my kids to take the bus. Here, I don't have to. Also their agendas (which are used as hall passes also) were given to them. The schools are also nicer and bigger here. Back in CA, not so much. The schools are not as crowded and they have tons of technology so I do see where the money is going. Also my kids went on TONS of field trips last year. In CA, if the PTO didn't provide funds for the trip (buses) then the kids didn't have them.
