You said it! Anyone who thinks "Don't pay for the supplies, then when the parents find out, they'll come to the rescue" will work is certifiably delusional. My wife just sent out invitations for an orientation meeting to the entire incoming (fall 2007) kindergarten class at her school, something like 90 kids, and she only got 17 RSVPs! Now you might think that these young parents would be excited to be involved in beginning of their kids school experience, but nowadays most of them can't be bothered. Too busy watching the big screen TV, or chasing the almighty dollar so they can get that big screen TV, and a SUV or 2, and a 4000 square foot home so that everyone can sit in their own rooms watching their own big screen TV, alone.

Man, "Idiocracy" ain't about the future, it's right now!
