Some people struggle to buy food so not everyone can pay the fee. I think that families that get school meals should be exempt.

Although there are many people who will feel that paying $40 is unreasonable, I think this was to be expected. In order for us to use online learning apps and to provide teachers and students with devices to learn at home, this may be necessary if we want to continue virtual learning.

Some people cannot afford to pay additional money to the school.

bluh.
Why does a Zoom subscription cost so much?
If someone isn't able to access Zoom, how will they learn?

# data[].attributes.body
To start many families don't have enough money to pay $40 to the school. We are in the middle of a pandemic and some families don't have even have enough money to put food on the table.  Also, there are families that already donated what they could donate to Everyone on the Bus and have already donated to the school.

Families that are unemployed, work minimum wage, or are a paycheck away from losing everything will have trouble paying for this on top of anything. If they have more the one child the money goes up to 80$ to 120$ and higher and higher.

It is unfortunate that the Moreland School District has to collect additional money from families to pay for digital services. Furthermore, some families might not be able to provide an extra forty dollars.

i dont know if all families could afford this :/

# data[].attributes.body
Although my family could afford this, not all families are as fortunate to be able to do so. $40 seems like a bit much, if anything... although I guess I understand why this is happening.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like this was going to end up happening because the learning is made up of a bunch of subscriptions from websites, but still 40 dollars is still an abundance of money, since each website probably costs less altogether. Also, if you go around to some schools, they are changing up things to improve the campus, but instead can't they spend the money on more important things.

I thought Zoom was free, and TCI I get paying for, but in my opinion, $40 seems kind of unreasonable

# data[].attributes.body
I feel it's understandable why they made this fee. With not as much state funding, there won't be as much money to go to school related activities/classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Along with my peers, I think that $40 is a bit too high. Lowering the fees would be great.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't
t think that this is good for some families that can't really afford to much.

# data[].attributes.body
many families aren't in the position where they can give up $40 for public school, which is supposed to be free, just so that their kids can learn :l

# data[].attributes.body
I understand why that why would make this fee as there is not much state funding, but not every family is able to afford it.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t think itś fair either

# data[].attributes.body
Can't we just use google meet?
and I'm sure it's not even safe

# data[].attributes.body
Though it's understandable why it's necessary, $40 is quite a bit, especially for some families. Furthermore, I think there might still be other ways to work around it. We can use textbooks instead of TCI and maybe Google Meet instead of Zoom.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think this is reasonable. Many families are barely making ends meet, especially during these times when jobs are hard to come by and maintain. $40 is definitely a lot, that's enough to feed a family for a week. Although I understand why they did this, I think there is some better alternative than making people pay this amount of money for their kids' public education.

# data[].attributes.body
My family would be able to afford this money, but some families doesn't have money to afford. Some families must have joined a public school since they didn't have money. Even every dollar from each family would go up to hundreds, but $40? Isn't that a little too expensive? I feel like somewhere in the $40 are not going to the TCI text books and the zoom meeting fees. I some are hogged by the district. We need proof that ALL the money goes to OUR learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I can understand the difficult situation. But I feel really bad for families who are doing very bad economic-wise.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that this is fair to all families, especially some that might actually need that money. In a way, they are being "forced" to pay this fee when it may be a big burden for families.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I understand why this must be done, but I don't think it's fair to the families that are financially struggling. $40 isn't a small amount of money, and it may put unnecessary added stress to some families.

# data[].attributes.body
The government has lost a lot of money at the moment they hate schools and zoom pro that they have to use is 150$. It would be nice if the government would put more money in schools and less in non-essential things but, they are also giving jobless people money. 40$ is not an amazing amount for a school year where a lot of parents already buy more than 40$ of supplies that they gave to us.

# data[].attributes.body
$40 is not a small price, you can buy several meals or other more essential products. I believe they should let some more financially challenged families be excused from this cost. I think a better idea would be a "recommended" donation, where if the family is more generous, they can donate more than $40.
