[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree completely OP.  I can’t imagine that question would have been asked of a dad.  It’s more unnecessary expectations on women by women.  I appreciate the women (usually it’s women) who step up to be on the pta but I wish they would be mindful of creating unnecessary sh*t to do.  Unnecessary because [b]I don’t think the teachers even care about this stuff.[/quote][/b]

Maybe they don't want droopy flowers from everyone's gardeen, but I bet they do enjoy feeling appreciated. A really nice card from a student or parent recognizing their work, a gift card after spending their own money on supplies and classroom materials, and even a catered meal. I think those are nice gestures. We have an excellent and devoted staff at our school. I don't think there are any SAHMs just looking for stuff to do. A lot of our parents are teachers themselves or former teachers, and they want our staff to know that we recognize the extraordinary job they are doing. If you can't participate, don't. But don't knock the idea or the motivation for the events just to make yourself feel less guilty about it. [/quote]
