every field trip i had had a permission form with the cost on it that had to be signed by a guardian or you were not allowed to go.
Yeah what school is just telling the kids to bring in money. That's asking for trouble.
When I was at school you actually had to pay for your lunch with cash. On the day.
Yeah, we didn't go to the school canteen.
The 90s were a wild time where parents and teachers just trusted kids for some odd reason.
In OPs case the field trip really only cost $10 but the teacher jacked it to $20 when they told the kids to shake down their parents
I think our school had parents come to the office to pay in cash in advance, and then you got a letter when you were running low
