From one Phil to another.<br />Well what can I say Phil from "X" Broken hill is correct.<br />I received my letter and Invoices for both my children today and Phillip is correct, Its says its Voluntary but it tells you have 30 Days to pay. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <br />Hummmmmm Can't work this out, I've just looked at my daughters dictionary to see what VOLUNTARY means as I'm becoming old and forgetful and it tells me "voluntary means: the act of choice, choosing whether you want to do a particular thing." In this case, why say 30 days?, why send you an invoice?. Is this outright arrogance, or intimidation? or just putting pressure on parents?. I have no problems paying but I can see this letter and invoice were probably checked by a lawyer before posting. The only thing I don't like in the whole deal is the blatant disregard of the word voluntary <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> ...its got me stuffed and I personally think this will backfire on the school. I don't think many parents will like it. This might have the approval of the P & C and staff but has it got all the approval of the parents??? It would be quite funny if A Current Affair or Today Tonight contact me over this as I know they are always looking for stories which they have done before as I do know that they look at this forum.<br />What do you think? Am I being a bit harsh? <br />Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />
