[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously do what you want. But I can’t imagine depriving my child of the secret Santa from their activities and teams. They love it so much and it’s not that time consuming. [/quote]

OP here. We do the secret Santa’s. I question why the parent organizers of all these spoiled kids (mine included) feel the kids “need” this. And as for the teachers, the baking is in addition to the gift. I get that some people are really gung-ho, but the pressure and “reminder” emails are really high to get full buy in on this. [/quote]

It’s not about need. It’s about celebrating the season and giving gifts is part of the celebration. As for the baking, I don’t think it’s any big deal not to do it. There were a few years where I didn’t join the PTA and I never got the emails to participate. So there’s that option as well as just declining. [/quote]

How do you know the teacher even celebrates Christmas? (Which is what you mean by "the season.")

Seriously give it a rest. If teachers celebrate they can do it at home. Give a gift card if you'd like, but lay off the crazy baking performances.[/quote]
