[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The preferential treatment is teacher dependent.  Bottom line is some parents are more than willing to seriously suck up to teachers and treat being room mom as if it were an actual job.  I think it’s natural (and sad) that some teachers play into this.  They tend to be old timers who are bored and going through the motions and get some joy from someone bringing them a muffin and having someone tell them how amazing they are.

What do these parents get out of this?  Maybe one of the limited chaperone spots for a field trip.  Or maybe knowing their kid will be treated nicely by the teacher.  Being in the “in crowd” of like minded parents.  Maybe getting their kid the teacher they want the following year.  BFD.  Many of these parents are the ones responding to this post and telling the OP she’s out of line.

It’s a problem when it detracts from the other kids/families, like when room parents come up with crazy class party ideas or teacher gift baskets or some secret “creative” (barf) class gift to surprise the teacher with that’s a PIA to put together.[/quote]

What a silly, silly post.[/quote]
