[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The frequent attacks on the entire concept of volunteering at a school is one of the more surprising parts of DCUM.[/quote]

Especially given the correlation between parent volunteering and child academic/life success.[/quote]

I find this difficult to believe. Surely parental education level and income matters more? And highly educated, highly employed parents are not volunteering as much as SAHMs with a BA or even less. [/quote]

You sound ridiculous. Most of the SAHMs I know have masters, law, or doctorate degrees. They are actually successful and wealthy enough to afford to stay home. I am one of these parents. I worked when younger but am wealthy enough to be able to stay at home with my kids in my late 30's and on as I always wanted to do. Most of the moms I know still working in their 50's and 60's can not afford to stay home. [/quote]

You are right. Some of the SAHMs have high level degrees and often from very prestigious colleges. As is the case with our DS school’s PTA president.

Unlucky for us, she is the same one who has weekly 3 hour meetings, micro manages, and is over controlling. Moving along. [/quote]
