Pay To Go

[Guitar_Raph]

FORT WORTH: An elementary school is teaching kids responsibility of using money. Of course, it's only play money that's good for that school, not real money.

One such thing is charging $1 to use the restroom on non-restroom times. One such mother was upset about this because a kid wanted to save up for something better.

This is the 2nd ridiculous story about a bathroom since the 1990 incident when @ a George Strait concert in Houston, TX, fan Denise Wells got arrested for using the men's room, only not to miss that concert. She was acquitted & appeared on Joan Rivers, The Tonight Show (Johnny Carson) & To Tell The Truth, back in 1990.

What a way to go.

Uh, okay. Well, I can understand the school wanting to teach the kids responsibility with money and all of that, but having them pay to go to the restroom does seem a bit odd. Then again, you do have kids who often say they have to use the restroom just to have them skip out on class, so maybe that's why they've done this. If that's the case, then good for them.

A better bet would be to pay for birthday sweets, computer games, and other tools used in the classroom to represent "renting" and item, for instance an iPad if your school has them. This is just junk considering you use real money when paying for lunch, and when you/parents/ forget your money and your friends don't have any, you're out of luck! This is something that's better to be done at home or while shopping with parents; that's how I learned to be responsible with money.
