"I don’t know if anyone can relate, but in about 3rd maybe 4th grade, me and my twin brother had a music class where we were both required to buy a recorder. (Like a plastic flute thing) well my mom said we didn’t have the money so my twin brother and I tore the whole house up in search of $6 for two recorders. We brought a ziploc bag full of change pennies, nickels, dimes etc.
I think the teacher felt sorry for us, cause she paid for our recorders when the rest of the students left the room. Gave us the ziploc bag back.
Thank you Mrs. Albrecht"
I've often wished that their was some required financial means test before having children so that no child would ever be forced to suffer parents who cannot afford them.
Life happens buddy. Sometimes tragedy or accidents happen that effect the parents income. It's not always just trash raising kids.
