This is precisely what I cannot stand! I remember several times feeling this way at DC's elementary school. I just recall thinking "don't these parents have a job or a hobby to occupy all of their spare time and energy?"[/quote]

Yes!

To the other recent poster-many of us mention it to the PTA and then we get..well why don't you become PTA pres, etc. Some people don't want to hear that people disagree with you so they just keep putting it back on you or worse they turn into the mommy wars and hatred toward moms who don't have the time to volunteer as much as then do rather than saying "thank you for your input. We can vote on that at the next meeting."

If people already show appreciation to teachers naturally-those they feel are truly good, why the need to CONTROL everything. To now throw it back on you, what is going on with you (PTA poster) that you feel everyone is too appreciative and if you don't take over these teachers will never know people are happy with them.

I doubt any parent will feel comfortable marching up to a principal and demanding that teacher appreciation stop. [/quote]
