[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if you used this energy to care about poorly funded schools. OP do you think schools like having to do this? Nope. They do it to fill in gaps that benefit your kid. You sound like a jerk.[/quote]

Please.  They do it to have more pizza parties, unnecessary assemblies, carnivals, etc.  It isn't spent on education.  [/quote]

Not true. If you ever attend a meeting, they present a budget for the year. Our school uses the funds for things like after school classes, to fund field trips, a $75 stipend for each teacher to spend on classroom supplies.[/quote]

Our school uses the money to buy hundreds of iPads abs elaborate catered lunches for “staff appreciation.” Pass.[/quote]

Tell me about these catered lunches. Our school does a breakfast potluck and a grill day with burgers and hot dogs.[/quote]

NP. We have a catered lunch and most of us don’t like it.  Would prefer they use the money for other things. They tell us lunch is being provided by the PTA and we need to come at this time and then say it’s a working lunch as a faculty meeting or professional development. I would much rather skip the lunch and eat alone in my room and have a little quiet time if that’s possible. I always feel bad for the PTA who tries to plan these nice things to have admin use them as meetings we don’t want to attend. [/quote]
