• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Betefully to see, want to see. This is what I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: want to discuss.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: How how young is too young for fundraisers when it
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: comes to schools, because it means now as soon as
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I give birth to the hospital, the nurses can start
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: hi we find reason for the for.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: The nursery room here.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of fundraisers because I always feel
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: especially for some of these private institutions, right Frankie and
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: I wean having this chat yesterday. Guys, when you charge
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: us for the service that you render, I expect you
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: to factor in anything that you need because I'm here
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: at nine for seven eight five am every morning fundraising
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: for my life through the same No.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: But to be fair, now, most schools around a pretty
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: lean thing, you know, because we're not talking about I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: we don't ask how expensive the school is but some.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: School schools are expensive.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean there's always something to fix. A
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: school always has problem.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: If I'm paying you for grand a month for my
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: child to be here, you should find that twnded brand
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: in that fourth thousand and of the things that you need.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: To fix, do you guys what?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I understand that there's always something to fundraise for, right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: so I know that there's always something Nursery schools start
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: in the budget.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: What you guys are not building Olympics, not.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: A swimming pool, but maybe it needs to be repainted.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Then you must take the money out of the money
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: that we pay you.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I can understand why fundraising happened. Look, I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know if two hundrand from Jamas is too much, but.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Think of anyone that you pay, yeah, like, think of
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: anyone that you pay like like I pay you and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you you offer me a service.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Dear TV, you pay them one.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: But we should fundraise sometimes they sometimes I need some
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: fundraising as well.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest with each other.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: As an observer, I think, especially with schools, the other
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: problem has become the frequency and the amount of.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Money, because it shocks them when you guys fall for
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: it this first time, because we conted every three wait,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: hang on, everybody puts and then they're just like, what
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: happens if we do it again? And then they do
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: it again and you guys bring the twounded reds. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: really feel that at a child, a baby that is
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: two years old is way too young to be involved
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: in any type of fund raise.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So you're saying primary school, maybe maybe.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: As soon as they're old enough to understand that it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: their duty to be fundraising, then we're good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Because here you're not.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You're not making the kids fundraise, you're shaking the parents down.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an eight that's that you're charging that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Am I crazy? Am I stingy? Am I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: being screwged?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I ask the other primary like little but pre primary
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: schools do this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: We're about to find out one one eighty eight thirty
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: eight nine four seven.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Parents, when was.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: The last time a school asked you to fundraise? How
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: old were your kids? And then talk to us. Maybe
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: we're the ones who being screwed mcdaxia.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe the crash is all over doing this.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I just feel that there's an age
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: where you're too young to be asked to fundraise for
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: an establishment and two years ten months is exactly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: That age child getting in his pajamas three years.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Every term WEEKDS since and its heinery, so that you
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: know how much you're going to putch with.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The whole term.

• 8:08
  Speaker 2: What do you mean twenty round over three? Is it

  Speaker 2: only every three weeks?
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: So you're staying twenty rand for the bigger games and

  Speaker 2: But again, and it's twenty bucks Tellier.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: Twenty bucks per kit for all three weeks.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: That does feel like two thousand and three prices.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to say.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Inflation hasn't hit your school yet. And I'm proud of them.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: No, they doin it. And the only other time they
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: request more money is if they do like the you
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: know those raffle form and you it's not obligated, so
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: you know, for you tell what you can and.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Then for me a bake sale. I'm not opposed to.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I go to school, your chel texts ran to school.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: They buy four or five slices of cake and a
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: cupcake and a packet of popcorn and there we go.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: But to say for your three year old to waar
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: pajamas to school is two hundred rand that's a scam.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you feel like that's you can't be fundraising a.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Christ You can't. You absolutely can't.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Also because these kids are not old enough to say, oh,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: we are raising money for a new pavilion or a
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: new reception or the headmaster needs a new this it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a scam. It's an absolute scam. You are just dealing
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: money from parents. I'm sorry, there's no other way to look.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: They're two years old. What are they fund raising for?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And Bromov good morning, good.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Morning, good morning, and Alien the club, good.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Morning, good morning. You sound like you.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: Listen guys. What I can say is two hundred rands
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: for a christ child is a shakedown. That's why my
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: kids finished crash as soon as they could. They are
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: all maticulating between the age of sixteen and seventeen because
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: our tip that shake down.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So you put them in early and you took them
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: out early.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: I took them out, well, I took them out early, Yes, definitely.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: But let me let me tell you what my youngest
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: child school is doing to raise funds. A it's a
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: private school, right, So what they do is they get
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: all the grade eights and they get them to do
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: a pitch to old pupils who are living abroad who's
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: definitely made it, and they do a pitch to convince
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: them to donate a couple of millions to the school.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: A couple of millions is the commission.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well the school is visit building. I'm three hockey toursts,
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: so that's not cheap.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: But if I am in grade eight and I've convince
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: an old boy who now runs Alexandra Forbes in Amsterdam
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to donate five million to the school, I want to
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: know what's my cat?
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: But can you imagine the life skill that that teaches
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: the child and the confidence that the child will have,
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: you know. So I think it's a great idea because
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: it's also which is the learners, and it also gives
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: them that value that when they leave and then they
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: become successful to come back and plow back.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: In the school.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: And so this school doesn't shake the new parents down.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: In grade eight.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I like the ownership of knowing that if there is
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: something that is bold, you'd be like, oh I helped
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I contributed to that. But that's when you are fourteen
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: years old. At two years old, guys, you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: Don't the shakedown what apparent to five friend snoopy every time.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And then what do they call the sales division at
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the school? Like, do you get is there is there
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a name? Do you get a little thing on your
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: blazer if you yeah?
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: So so there's quite a big thing about it. So
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: if you managed to raise most funds and then you
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: you get honored in that way that you know you
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: managed to raise the most.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: So if you're there, your old learner that you speak
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: to decide, Okay, I'll give you guys fift two million
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: if it's not the one million or two millions target.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Look at that many things our parents today. Why do
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: is I need to change my number?
• 12:02
