[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in the high participation schools, where parents pay to chaperone, any parent who wants to chaperone should be allowed to. Sometime there is an artificial limit on number of chaperones and that means that one parent is toting the packed lunches for 4 and 5 kids. This is ridiculous. Are you listening MCPS?[/quote] Really, carrying 5 bag lunches is a burden for you PP? Give me a break. I chaperone occasionally in my kids' MCPS classes, and there are way more chaperones than necessary in most cases. I'm always happy if I can do something useful on these trips, since it usually involves me taking the day off work. Last year I bought a kid a pizza lunch after he didn't like the sandwich he'd selected; he was crying (a fourth grader!) and that tiny bit of effort and a few dollars turned his day around. Made my day too. I don't need his parents' thank yous, or anyone else's. [/quote]
