[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is true that some cultures do not have a tradition of parents volunteering at their children's schools, but it is very much part of the culture in the US. Are you here for just a year or two, or here for the long haul? Either way, you might want to give volunteering a try, even if you think you won't like it. Apart from helping the entire school community, it is a good way to meet other parents and make friends. The idea of community is also big in the US, and volunteering helps one to feel more a part of the community.

If you don't want to try it, that's fine, but if you do, you might find it both worthwhile and enjoyable.

Yes, parents do volunteer at schools in the US.

But other than acting as chaperones, why are parents involved in doing anything, especially organizing, a Homecoming dance?

Homecoming and all other school dances are almost 100% student run. Why would parents be involved in planning and organizing a dance at a high school?

That is just weird and too involved.[/quote]
