[quote=Anonymous]Our school is UMC , 10/10 gs rating but it has cinder block walls, rooms with no windows, uncomfortable fluorescent lighting, and contaminated lead water fountains.  My kids spend 6 hours there.  If the teachers are willing to decorate with ceiling clouds, soft reading areas, and fidget toys, I’m thrilled to help them make the days a little easier. The pta focuses on water filter stations and pe equipment which makes sense.

Stop expecting the school to be everything for your kids.  Get involved and help make your kids school experience worthwhile.  So tired of the entitled ‘I’m not buying this teachers school supplies’ mentality.  You can’t throw taxpayer money at schools. Parents have to care and be involved.  If you truly can’t afford to buy stuff then ask if you can help set up and clean up.  If parents spent half the time and money of their Disney-etc vacations on supporting schools, our schools would be amazing.  Kids pick up on your disrespectful attitude about your kids school.  Teachers are doing Herculean things with way too many kids.  Stop being lazy parents.
