Woodruff and surrounding areas are only so big, all the kids are basically trying to sell to the same people. Penalizing children for not hustling a customer takes away the value added of reaching out in the community.

I too think it's unfair for a child to have sit inside during fun day for not selling at least one overpriced item. Some families struggle financially and can barely afford to feed their kids. Either make it fair where ALL kids get to participate in fun day or do away with the program all together.

In the past its been if they sell one item they can participate, now it's they can do the bounce house if they sell one item and do a number of fun activities if they sell $50 worth, I feel like they just keep making it harder on everybody.

Fundraising is not for all children. Some parents don't have time with working and other children to help with selling items. Some parents and family don't have the money. Don't punish the children for not selling anything or not selling enough. It's not fair to the child.

Stop turning kids into hustlers for school profit! The ones who can't sell feel like failures and in some schools are actually punished by not being able to attend an event. It's also dangerous because some kids will go out door to door. Find some other way to raise funds. This isn't it!

No child should be left out or made to feel less than others. It is not safe for children to sell door to door. Parents are often the ones that buy these products. This can be and is an added expense that some cant afford! A child should not be punished for their parents inabilty to purchase/sell products.

I have never thought this was fair to any of the kids. Hoping it changes.

They should stick to awarding prizes and not use an activity as the prize. That's exclusion. I agree 100 percent.
