[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Don't bid on class related items (class-made, teacher experience, etc) UNLESS you have a child in that class. Lord in heaven, the fuss that got made the year that particular fiasco took place was mind boggling.[/quote][/b]

+10, this comment, and bolded it for emphasis . DO NOT BID on another class's class project. Its social dealth to do so. Also, do NOT bid on the big ticket items ( 10K and up) your firts year in the school or if you are an invited guest/date who does not have a DC attending or the knives will come out.[/quote]

I sort of get this, and I recognize it is provided in a spirit of being helpful to allow people to navigate these without committing social faux pas, but, well, sigh.  This makes me question if women are ever going to really achieve equality in fields like government and business when we collectively act like such whack-jobs about stuff like bidding on a craft item made by a class for a school auction.  (It's not the dads wielding the knives, right?)[/quote]
