The following is adapted from actual conversations and social media posts:
Student: I don’t have a job! I just had to buy stuff for choir retreat. Why are they asking me for money? Also, we literally just had a service project raising money for Lutheran South Academy in Houston.
Parent: I hate that the school hounds me for tuition, then expects me to give even more when I already have gifts to buy for Christmas. Also, my kid told me he signed up to buy stuff for the Christmas Bureau family. Guess who’s paying for that?
Recent Alumni: I’m in college and have student loan payments. Why does Concordia bug me for money? I already paid them four years of tuition!
Seniors Class of 2018: I’m not going to be here next year; why should I give money for stuff I don’t get to use?
CLHS Employee: I work my butt off for my paycheck. Why do I have to give some back?
