[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has got to depend on the grade. I was room parent in 4th and parents were already checked out at that point. None of us wanted to be room parent in 5th again. I can see how people would be very enthusiastic in K or 1st. [/quote] This is how it was at our old public (at least). Through 2nd the competition to volunteer at parties definitely existed. After that? Nothing. It was like pulling teeth to get adequate volunteers. By 6th the teachers just asked us to donate supplies and did the rest themselves because getting volunteers was too much work and people wanted to be the Venmo mom at most. At our new private it seems to be pretty similar. People will volunteer in the lower grades, but forget it for the older kids.[/quote] A lot of people don't like kids except their own. Little kids are cute and funny and maybe more tolerable. 3rd grade and up, you have to be a "kid person" to want to volunteer. [/quote]
