It is voluntary but the party is not. The fact the our class parties must take place over lunch time is not voluntary. The fact that I have to contribute to the pta to teacher appreciation week, get our teacher a gift for teacher appreciation week, get her an Xmas and an end of year gift aren’t really optional either. So I absolutely get that no one has to contribute, plenty don’t, almost all can afford to, all the kids and teacher reap the benefit and it’s annoying. My day goes on as does yours. [/quote]

But why aren't these optional?  People can buy their own gifts for the teachers.  There's no need for the room mom to organize a class gift.  Likewise, I can't wrap my mind around a school policy mandating that class parties must take place over lunch time and must have whatever number of pizzas ordered from whatever place.  Parties at my kids' school take place during the last hour of the day.  If they needed a lunchtime party, people would still eat their regular lunch and then have special treats.  If the teacher is dictating these things, the teacher needs to take a step back.  [/quote]
