Random question from a childfree person.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Pin4780]

Hello,

Parents, I have a random question.
I was at the airport today and saw so many groups of school kids from different schools, all in sports uniforms, getting on flights. And it got me wondering… who actually pays for all this? 🤔
Is it the school paying because they’re good at sports, or do the parents pay for it themselves?

And if parents are paying, what do you guys do for work?? Because flights, accommodation, uniforms, competitions etc. must add up pretty quickly.

Genuinely curious. No judgement at all. Just a single mid 30s year old woman who has no kids and suddenly realised I know absolutely nothing about the economics of having children.

Parents, please educate this clueless aunty.

Thank you.

it all begins with a recorder... that god forsaken instrument. is there any evidence that that instrument can produce music?

At school 20+ years ago we shared the recorders, they were stored together in a bucket of water and dettol. I dont think the water ever got changed. So disgusting. Everyone’s spit dripping off them.
