Parents of schoolchildren in Petrozavodsk complained about “toilet fees” at school [Russia]
Podyom ^ | 19AUG2024 | Staff

By September 1, the school administration demanded that toilet paper, napkins, and liquid soap be brought in. The mayor's office conducted an inspection and stated that this was unacceptable. A shopping list was given to parents of students at School No. 38. It included liquid soap, at least 200 napkins, two rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, and copy paper. It was noted that all purchases had to be put in a separate bag and signed. The parents were not told what purposes this was all being collected for.

The press service of the Petrozavodsk administration told Pod’yom that an investigation was conducted following complaints from parents. "The head of the city was informed about this fact on Friday last week. Specialists from the social development committee immediately organized an inspection. The fact was confirmed. An explanatory conversation was held with the teacher. The principals of all schools were notified that such cases are unacceptable."

Outrageous! They did not capitalize kseroks (Xerox). Everyone knows you have to capitalize Xerox.

Toilet fees or exposing your daughter to boys in the girl's restroom? What's worse?

Toilet fees of drag queen story hour for your first grader? What's worse?

Didn't realize it was an either/or thing. Many red states manage to avoid both. But of course they're just patriotic Americans, so they're beneath your notice.

REAL patriotic Americans care more about the moral decay ANYWHERE in their country than about toilet fees in Russia.

What the hell don't you understand about that?

It's you and your fellow Zeepers with an obsession with Russia. Get over it.

All of Russia avoids it.

In fact, there may not be two groups of people with more common Judeo-Christian values than red state Americans and Russians.

It's the Russians resisting the globalist push for the LGBT agenda while you are backing those pushing it.

Really? Russia avoids toilet fees? That's not what the article says.

Show me where I support the LGBT agenda. I'll wait.

“The browser machine translation didn’t come up with “toilet fees.” Toiletries.”

Oh. I was gonna try and come up with the Russian equivalent of, “Here I sit, broken hearted...”

There’s a bunch of self-absorbed Ukrainians and other eastern Europeans on here that want this site to be all about *them.*

And for that, the public schools charge $15,740 per kid, per year, here in Dallas in the public schools.

And for some crazy reason, private schools can get away with charging far less per kid, and still provide a better education.

But, propose school vouchers and competition, advocate for parents choice and something other than a government held monopoly and you’ll be painted as some horrible human that hates children.

In case you didn’t know, public education is government run here in the US as well.

And the results aren’t much better.

Can you tell me something that’s “government run” that is an example of great customer service, efficiency, where the leaders in that organization are held accountable for failures?
