Default [IBC] Worse than Mallsai?

I object to the programs because it's all overpriced junk that I'm expected
to badger my coworkers and neighbors into buying. The school only gets a small
percentage of the money, and they use techniques that I consider unfair to
pressure kids (me actually) into making sales: Any kid who doesn't sell at
least $300 of this junk has to sit in study hall with the other losers while
their classmates go to a party.

This is outrageous. If this is a public school, you need to speak to the school
board, and if that doesn't work, your state education department. If it is a
private school, and the board is unresponsive, you may have no choice but to
remove your children. This is definitely giving them the wrong education.
We are getting off-topic. I would love to continue this off-line, but I don't
know your real address. My granddaughter used to go to the Hebrew Day School,
so I have firsthand experience.
