[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the parents who do all these things for their kids at home and one on one (that's great!) are missing the point that their kids also do a ton of things at school that other people are apparently organizing and paying for out of pocket. Do you think that's fair? Would you rather your kid be excluded? Or that these things didn't take place at all? (but they do)[/quote] I volunteer in the classroom when I am allowed, I volunteer to help at parties and I go on field trips. I do these things for my kids. I do them despite the PTA moms not because of them. The rest -- their gift baskets, fund raisers, wrapping paper, auctions -- I don't contribute a minute of my time or a penny of my money, because it is their club. I already posted but wanted to clarify what I DO contribute. I think what I do contribute is healthy and don't want to feed the unhealthy nonsense.[/quote]
