WTF is this happy crappy?

Holy shit-are those numbers right? Were there roughly 260 kids in the 5^th grade for that school? I would be totally schitzo with that many parents to deal with.

I should have known someone would check my damn numbers.

The trip cost probably turned out slightly less ($220+?) and the fundraising somewhere between $7,000-$8,000 (but $8k sounds so much better....). To answer your question, no, the 5^th grade wasn't that big. We had four 5^th grade classrooms -- around 120 students.

It was similar--a wilderness type trip with an outdoor science curriculum.

My kids moved on to middle school after that but I told the woman who took over the fundraising for the next year my thoughts about all the full scholarships and that I thought it ought to be handled differently. I did what everyone before me had done not knowing how many people were milking the system. It's fucked up.
