[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always send in money for field trips and teacher gifts.  Beyond that, it's hit or miss, and I don't give a flying fig what others think.  I'm the sole breadearner - nurturing my career is far more important than given extras to the school.  If I volunteer, it is with my professional group.  If I have extra time, I will be spending it at a networking lunch or afterwork event.  The magic job fairy isn't standing around waiting to hand me a new job if I lose mine, so I need to make sure I maintain my network and build my professional reputation.[/quote]
Your response is interesting.  I don't think this thread is about dedicating all kind of time to the school, but mainly just to take an interest in your child's education.  I am not the OP, but I took it as even contributin a 4 to 8 hours max for the whole school year.  I am making the assumption that other parents would be doing their part as well.  I don't think that taking 8 hours of your work time off in the span of 10 months is going to make or break your job situation.  If that was the case, why would jobs give us weeks of vacation time.  If it is the case, then you need to find another job that stands behind the vacation time it offers as a benefit to its employees.  I know at my workplace, they encourage vacation time as a security measure.[/quote]
