[quote=Anonymous]How about we just staff schools so they can do their job without relying on free parent labor. I think the PTA organizing after school events and fundraising is fine but you should not need parents in the school all day to do basic functions. Somehow my kids' public elementary functioned just fine without having parents in the classroom every day. The only parent role was the request to come in once a year to be a 'guest reader'. I even asked if I could help out in the school library and was turned down because they had it covered with regular staff plus student helpers. How much of this parent volunteering is just make-work to keep parents happy?[/quote]
