[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the room parent at a public school. I end up paying for most of the food for kids' parties. We don't get pizza for parties, but it takes a lot of effort to put together a table of healthy food for these parties. Before the holidays, I asked parents to vote to decide if they wanted to have a group class gift, then 1/2 backed out at the last minute, so I end up fronting 100s of dollars for that (instead of the 20 per family). I have a serious illness and I lost my job this year (I have a temporary, lower paying one now). I still did the right thing. I have no sympathy for the shirkers who don't even give a thought to the burden they're placing on a VOLUNTEER who is trying to make sure things are nice for all their kids and the teacher who takes care of them 8 hours a day. Do better shirkers.[/quote] $20 × 20 kids? That's $400 for a teacher gift. Nope. If you choose to do that, it darn well should be on you. [/quote]
