[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another room parent here...Our PTA requests a set amount from each family at the beginning of the year and pools the money.  It's then divided equally between classrooms.  I have no idea who from our class contributed, just that we received a set amount to work with for the year, to cover gifts, parties, and activities.  I really like this - no singling out or pressure to contribute for those who really can't afford it, and no disparities between classrooms.  So the holiday gifts for our teacher and assistant came from the whole class.  Families could opt to do their own thing as well - some did, some didn't (and again, I have no visibility on who did what, nor do I really have an interest).     [/quote]

I would hate to have the PTA pool it divide equally. If it's an amazing teacher I might give 30 or 40 to the class gift, but if the teacher is not good I might give little or nothing. I don't want my hard earned money going toward making a crappy teacher feel special. I am glad our room parents organize something. If the PTA tool over and doled it all out equally I would not contribute and would instead get my own gift cards for the teacher who rock.[/quote]

I think it's a horrible idea for the PTA to pool it and divide it equally.  Luckily our school doesn't do that either![/quote]
