Uh, right, we should all quit our jobs to go volunteer at school all day?!  That's not going to happen.  Why can't the school provided adequate staff to children ratios?[/quote]

Uh, if you leave public school for private, you will absolutely be EXPECTED to volunteer.  And if you're in a private K-8, your willingness to be part of the lower school's "family" by volunteering will be discussed by your K-8 school's admins with the admissions staff of the private middle or high school you apply to next.  Just sayin'.[/quote]

Not true, as always parents do what they are able.  My oldest is at a big 3 private and youngest is at our local public.  I have never been told that it is "expected" that I volunteer.  I have a very demanding job and the school respects that (in fact I think they look at it as good pr for the school b/c it is fairly high profile).  I think they are more than happy to have a guaranteed annual fund check more than having me in the library for an hour a week.[/quote]

Do you listen to yourself?  Wow.[/quote]

I don't think this 'high profile' PP realizes how bad what she wrote sounds.  Sorry PP but money does not act as a replacement for you and your physical presence.  Having you in the library for an hour a week will reap huge rewards and make arch more lasting impression on your DC than a big check.[/quote]
