[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in a focus school and some years I had 20% of my kids bring in $3 towards class parties and most years, less than that amount. I understood that class parties weren't a priority for families trying to keep a roof over their head. The only annoying part for me were the parents who would show up with all the toddler siblings in tow and just help themselves to the food I bought with my own money which was for the students.[/quote]

Ok Melanie, Susie, Matt, and Linda you got reimbursed by the PTA so quit complaining.[/quote]

Actually, I paid for it out of my own money. Not sure you know too much about focus schools but our PTAs aren't exactly bringing in tons of money. I love when people show their ignorance for all to see.  Bless your heart.[/quote]

I'm thinking you are a troll. I've sent 4 kids through "focus" elementary schools and have been a class parent MANY times. We just sent home a note in English and Spanish telling parents what date the party was and asked for donations of food, water bottles, or drink pouches. We never had problems with not enough food for party. In fact, we [b]usually had too much[/b].[/quote]

That were generously offered to toddler siblings in tow. That PP complaining about siblings in tow was definitely not a class parent in any of our kids' classrooms.[/quote]
