[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me sad how many people volunteer at school for their own perceived benefit and not…the good of the children!! Wth! How about you volunteer at the school because it’s the right thing to do. [/quote]

Because nobody does anything in life for those reasons alone. Even when you do something because it's the "right thing to do," in the back of your mind you are also doing it to increase your chances of being perceived well by others, reduce your future risk of being blamed for wrongdoing, etc. These motivations might not be in the forefront of your mind, but your subconscious is working out all the math behind the scenes.

If all that math is going on, but the outcome is helpful for the students at the school, what's the problem? Win-win

I could easily come up with different math where I don't flex my time and I don't go into the school. Having other motivation (besides school placement which as anyone can tell you is not guaranteed) to cause us to volunteer sounds human.
