Cheryl, I agree.  The schools do this, and it makes me crazy.  Can you imagine how the under privileged children must feel all the time... because the schools put such a high &quot;target&quot; on sales for the kids to have to attain, to win a prize - these children must never be able to go on outings or whatever the &quot;prize&quot; is.  I&#39;ve often thought of these &quot;not so lucky kids&quot; - who have to sell subscriptions to magazines in their neighborhoods (or whatever) where the people hardly have enough money to put food on the table.  The kids feel so inadequate that they weren&#39;t able to attain the &quot;goal&quot; - It&#39;s a shame that schools get away with it, maybe the PTA&#39;s should think long and hard&#33;&#33;
