    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 the “child’s” (it was probably 95% the educator making it) artwork in one of those $3 black 48 paged A3 scrapbooks from OfficeWorks.
