[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned that volunteering doesn't get you special treatment unless you push yourself on teachers. I will never be *that* person. Our PTO president gets in teacher's faces all day and I bet they hate her. [/quote]

You are stupid, the PTA helps teachers the most[/quote]

With what?

25 year veteran teacher trying to think of a time when I've gotten meaningful help from the PTA/HSA.[/quote]

I am sorry about your experience. I am a parent and at our school the pta reimbursed some of the classroom supplies,  bought headphones for the kids, gave t shirts to teachers, organized lunches and coffees for teachers. [/quote]

You think that some Tshirts and coffee is the most help we get?

I think that fundraising for things like headphones is fine.  I'm grateful for classroom supplies.  But none of those things require a presence in the classroom.  T shirts, lunches and coffees I could care less about.  [/quote]

I don't get fundraising for headphones.  We have to provide them for our kids.  So, maybe to supply for kids whose parents didn't get them.  I wish teachers would regularly send out a list of supplies they need.  Ours didn't and I had to guess what to send in.  Only a few times would she answer.  I'd rather ask a teacher what they need.  The lunches I've volunteered at are lousy.  One person picks what is easy for them that they like without any regard to the teachers requests and most of it goes uneaten and the PTA folks take it home to eat.  [/quote]
