Comment on Kindergarten forced to back down after proposing to charge parents $2,200 for their own children’s art

And the $2,200 wasn’t for each kids individual artwork, it was to produce a collective scrapbook from all the kids in the school, plus photos, etc.

$2,200 is still insane on a per-piece basis. It shouldn’t cost more than $50 a piece depending on the size of the book. I could see $2,200 being printing costs for the whole run.

I work in ECE in Australia, and from this

The next day, in a second email the management committee proposed to charge $2,200 for a scrapbook of artwork produced by their children and photographs of them to help pay off the debt.

They 100% mean printing out on the shitty work printer and pasting photos they took on their iPad alongside some pages of their artwork in one of those $3 black 48 paged A3 scrapbooks from OfficeWorks.

Our kid’s high school did the art compilation book. Hard cover was $150. Softcover $45. About 35 pages or so.
