[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work FT, also volunteer plenty. Have generally had my teacher requests acknowledged.

What I do think parents who put in significant time at the school should get is preferential seating at school events. Fight me on it. It would kill me when I was working FT, plus doing five hours a wk of PTA board duties and knowing most families do jack squat but will show up 45 minutes early to stake out fhe best row for a school concert ... and Id be hustling to find senior citizen grandparents a spot near rear of the gym.

Grandparents belong in the rear. They had their turn. I'm tired of sitting behind grandparents who put their phones in my face to record the grandkids. Sit in the back and let the parents see.[/quote]

Not if drama mom gets her way— grandparents front and center as there are some of the seats she’s saving…[/quote]

She gets seats for herself but a whole row for grandparents? I guess she'll have to have a confrontation when the programs and sweaters are removed from seats.[/quote]

She claims to save front and center for her spouse, kids, and the grandparents. She is shocked that people find this inappropriate.[/quote]

She doesn't though because she's so mad the elderly grandparents who don't even need to be there have to sit in the back. They belong in the back so that's a problem that solves itself. [/quote]

Maybe she couldn’t keep her trolling story straight? Wasn’t getting enough sympathy, and she was only saving seats for her own kids grandparents?[/quote]

PP should give up her own seats to her grandparents and stand wherever. Other parents aren't obligated to do that. They are there to see their kids, it's for them, grandparents are taking up seats not meant for them.[/quote]
