[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many hours does a super involved parent spend on PTA?

[b]Seems it might be wiser to just get a part-time job and dedicate that income to sending the kid to private.[/b] College-educated woman could get a part time job paying $20,000 a year no sweat.[/quote]

Yes.  I wish I could say this to the mean PTA moms who lurk in our school.  Some of them do "work" at least part time hours with us!  Can I just tell you how much time it takes to make up stupid busy work tasks for them?  Or how my heart sinks every time I am compelled to attend one of their stupid events during my prep time or in the afternoon when I'm exhausted after a long day of (real) work?  Many of them are very condescending to teachers, in addition to being bitches who gossip about other people's kids.  I find it shocking that these women really believe they are contributing something important .  I've worked at 4 schools in various places in my career, and it has been the same everywhere.

OK, I'm going to have to stay off this thread.  It is not good for me to start the new school year already angry at these women.

But I fantasize about punching at least two of the PTA moms in the face: each of them has spread hideous gossip about vulnerable kids.
