[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ If she cant give me three minutes of her time, why should I give her $200 of mine? I agree it’s probably a bit petty but oh well. I wanted it to go to someone who appreciated it. [/quote]

Seriously?!?! Seriously?  She has probably 25 students!  Do you have ANY concept of how much work she has to do every single afternoon the first few weeks of school?!?  I wouldn’t claim 3 minutes of a teacher’s time to thank me for actually volunteering at an event around that time of year.  You’re expecting an effing thank you just for singing your name in a pice of paper, not actually *doing* anything?  It took you literally 3 seconds to write your name and you think the teacher peers you exponentially more effort in return?!?

You are bonkers and I’m sure this teacher would forgo a decade’s worth of card stock to have avoided having you as a room parent.  Yikes!  The maintenance!  [/quote]

That was not OP. She started it as Np.

Np here.

I also signed upfirst to be a room parent for my child’s class. There were three spaces for volunteers for this job. I agree that just because I signed up first that I should not automatically be asigned. WHat does upset me is that I didn’t even get an email thanking me for at least signing up for quite a large commitment and that she ultimately chose someone else. That would have been the polite thing to do.

With that said, I had 12 reams of color cardstock that I orders on sale over the summer that i was going to donate to her. With no acknowledgement, I ended up giving it all to my daughter’s teacher from last year.

And no I am not buying my way for my daughter. She makes straight As and is praised for her behavior in class. She is responsible for her own accolades.

Response: You withheld a donation to the classroom because you're all butthurt that the teacher didn't email you to say thank you in the first two or three weeks of the school year when teachers are swamped with all kinds of other beginning-of-year stuff? That's petty and the teacher probably dodged a bullet by not picking you, even without the cardstock.

NP: If she cant give me three minutes of her time, why should I give her $200 of mine? I agree it’s probably a bit petty but oh well. I wanted it to go to someone who appreciated it. [/quote]
