Reply #92: Having spent ages 3 - 17 in catholic schools [View All]

I know well that he would have had no problem if those parents had signed over all the money to the school or church. I maintain it is none of his business how parents spend their money.
I don't waste money and I would not encourage that sort of conspicuous consumption for teenagers but I would not tell any other parent how to spend their money. It is entirely up to the parents and is not the principal's business.

It hardly matters whether they're in school for another month.
Sorry that's my take.
