OK, venty and ranty:

DEAR SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS:

I'M HAPPY YOU ENJOYING DANCING AROUND IN YOUR UNIFORMS AND MAKING HUMAN PYRAMIDS.

HOPEFULLY THE TEAMS AT YOUR SCHOOL APPRECIATE YOUR SPIRIT.

BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU: NO ONE ELSE CARES!
MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT FROM YOUR SCHOOL, OR EVEN FROM YOUR TOWN.

PLEASE STOP PANHANDLING IN FRONT OF STORES AND WALKING AROUND IN TRAFFIC BEGGING FOR MONEY.

IF YOUR PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY YOU UNIFORMS AND CART YOU TO COMPETITIONS, THEN TOO BAD. MAYBE THAT MONEY SHOULD BE SAVED FOR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ANYWAY.

BUT PLEASE DON'T EXPECT RANDOM STRANGERS TO SUPPORT YOU.
YOU ARE NOT A CHARITY CASE, AND CHEERING IS NOT A CRITICAL SOCIETAL FUNCTION.

IF YOU INSIST ON "FUND-RAISING" THEN WASH CARS, HAVE A BAKE SALE, OR FIND SOME WAY TO OFFER VALUE....YOU KNOW...EARN THE MONEY!

CHEER PARENTS: SENDING YOUR DAUGHTERS OUT IN SHORT SKIRTS AND HAVING THEM ASK STRANGERS FOR MONEY IS NOT A VALUABLE LIFE LESSON OR SERVICE SKILL, UNLESS YOU ARE INTENDING THEM TO GO IN TO ONE PARTICULAR VERY OLD PROFESSION.
