It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards

Itis time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cardsto raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable thatthey will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriceditems that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are manyreasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools andclubs.

Fundraising（募集资金） is a great way to help children learnsocial skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask him forhis money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer whatthey have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someonerefuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride(不特别费力地), and that is a learning lesson as well.

Studentscan learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem saferfor us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraisingbefore it is turned into the school. However, by making them keep track of it,count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning animportant lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they areolder.

Fundraisinghelps improve their schools. It is the children’sschool. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help inmaking it a better place?

Fundraisingallows for more life experiences for the child. The raised money is usedtowards things like parties, trips, or for the music club to go to see aBroadway play. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raisingthe money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memorieswould be missed.
