[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those over the top parties always seemed more about the PTA mom than the kids or what they wanted. Endless boring games, way too much sugar, teacher gifts that were weird. One room mom used the money to give the teacher a book all about ... her kid. A special book all about Larlas year. Crazy.

Are you really clueless about the different roles?  PTA is completely separate from room parent.  Most of us who do room parent are forced, for lack of a better term, as we volunteer once, are done with the nasty parents and choose not to do it and get calls from the teacher or principal or our kids tell us no party per their teacher in less your XXX step in and does it and they are upset (this happened with us where my child was so upset that the party was canceled).  There are many room parents like OP who misuse the money.  Depending on the room parent there is not much sugar.  I keep it healthy except for a cupcake or small slice of cake.  Most kids get far more sugar at home than school.  If I got everyone to donate $5, I can easily do what most would consider a lavish party when it isn't, including pizza and a desert.  Its all about how you spend the money.  And, many of the kids like the dumb games (I wish we didn't do them but the teachers insist).

PTA is completely separate.  They do not contribute money and many of the PTA parents refuse to do anything classroom related as the PTA is their passion.  They are too selfish to even donate a box of kleenex or wipes when they send their sick kids to school.[/quote]
