[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you "volunteered" because you thought it would curry you favors with the principal with class placement? If you'd just stuck to sharing about how frustrated you were that your communicated request for separating your child from another wasn't met, I would have offered some helpful advice. But you had to throw in the part about expecting some preferential treatment because you volunteered.

You're an idiot, OP. You fail to see how your kid will be fine, even with some kids who learn differently. Even worse, though, is that you're an entitled idiot. Please stay in MD.

[b]To be fair this principal doesn't get it cause title one schools don't have ptas[/b][/quote]

Principal here: We do. I just met with our president on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it. She would be equally appalled by OP's post. [/quote]

I think the Principal is right. If I remember correctly from the Title 1 school we used to be at, they usually have PTOs because PTOs don't require mandator dues and are not part of a national organization, whereas PTAs are and are usually at higher SES schools. Is this right?[/quote]

I think it depends on the school. We're at a Title 1 in Arlington and we have a PTA, as do all other Title 1 schools in Arlington, with one exception (one school has a fr/l rate close to 90% and that school has a PTO).

OP, you are gross. And probably a troll. I am a SAHM who has the luxury to volunteer. I do it because I love our school and I love the students. My time with them is rewarding to ME not because of the benefit that [i]may[/i] accrue to my child, but because I get a window into the world of some of the sweetest and most interesting humans around. That is why I spend my time volunteering--because I enjoy it and it fills my heart. If that's not the reason you're doing it, you should spend your time elsewhere.
