I'm a SAHM and I never hung around the school being a busy body.  I would go in a couple of times a week and help out.  That was all.

Please don't lump all PTA parents/classroom volunteers into this category.  Most of us have lives, some of us work and the vast majority of us have other children and responsibilities that keep us busy.  We volunteer because we see a need for our help and we want to do our part.

One year I spent the year helping to make sure that hundreds of kids had Orchestra uniforms and[b] I went to concerts to make sure that everyone's attire looked good, they had their bow ties and sashes tied correctly, the right socks on, etc.[/b][i][u]

I can understand not wanting busy body "spies" in the school.  I don't like that, either.  At the same time, I know that running the "SAHMs" (and many of the volunteers you see do have jobs, btw) out of the school would not be a benefit to anyone.[/quote]

Right, God forbid some kids bow tie is crooked or their sash isn't tied correctly.  We wouldn't want the kids to learn how to take responsibility for their own uniforms!!!

Actually it is all about having the kids take responsibility for their own uniforms.  You catch the little things before they go on stage.  Little things matter.  They learn what to look out for themselves. [/quote]
