[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow- not normal, IME. I was room parent a few times and there was no preferential treatment. Usually the teacher sent out a signup genius and it was first come, first serve (for the first trip) and for any additional, parents who had NOT chaperoned yet got first dibs. For parties, it was also signup genius for helpers- but any parent was always welcome to join and that was clearly stated. This only seemed to be an issue in the very young grades. Usually by later elementary it was hard to find volunteers. [/quote] Two kids in public and private and this has been the experience across the board. The only time I got room parent advantage was when I was sending out the sign up genius, and then yes, I’d sure sign up first to the sign up genius that I have just sent out. But I would also find it weird that a teacher “randomly” chooses parents to chaperone. It doesn’t seem a very equitable system.[/quote]
