[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, do you run that car tote idea by the other parents every year? I would be pissed if our room parentvused the contributions for something so stupid.[/quote]

I thought the car tote idea was pretty bad too. Useful for one family does not translate well into useful for each family.

Our room parent did a "beach tote" that was along the same lines. They put a lot of heart and a lot of useless items (monogrammed beach towel, flip flops, sunscreen, junk magazines, gum, etc.) together in it. I would much rather the $ have gone toward a gift card that would have allowed the teacher to select something she wanted/needed. Parents were not consulted but were all asked to chip in for this creation.[/quote]

Agree.   I would rather get a gift card in less a teacher is specific with a gift.  I emailed the teacher and specifically asked if what store she and the other teachers in the room wanted.  Luckily they all agreed.  I sent out an email to everyone sharing the information.  I would not want magazines, flip flops that may not fit, gum, etc.  I also would want to pick my sunscreen.  Its nice thought but waste of money especially if the teacher does not go to the beach.  I keep my car clean so I wouldn't want it detailed vs. something else.[/quote]
