[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there may be some limited exceptions, I think some of you may be getting the causation wrong. People who are frequent room parents don’t get those positions because they are part of some “in-crowd,” more likely they’re well-known/liked because they’ve gotten to know lots of other parents through their volunteer efforts (which don’t just happen by being room parent).

Also, consider that what you see as prefertial treatment may be more of a perception bias. You’re familiar with a particular mom because she was your room parent last year, and so when you see who’s in the “good” class this year, she jumps out to you because she’s familiar. But you’re ignoring the 15-20 kids who are also in that class despite the fact that their parents don’t do jack for the school in any capacity because they’re not familiar to you.[/quote]

? So typical DCUM to make anything about them rather than addressing OP's issue. The past 3 to 4 posts are all about their own experience only. OP did not discuss the other kids or parents in the class.

OP wanted to help. She offered to help, was first on the list, and she was told NO because the teacher and this popular parent agreed that they had everything covered and didn't need anyone new coming in to help. This scenario bears no resemblance to your own.[/quote]
