But those are for special activities that benefit a smaller group. However, can you imagine elementary school without art or those rudimentary music classes where every kid gets the chance to play the triangle?Here they just say it's out of the budget and cut them out or make the parents pay for their kids to play. My oldest son played soccer and it cost me @ $300 for him to play his senior year. One of my coworkers daughter is on her schools cheer squad and it cost her over $700 to participate this year.
