[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great to think of a way for this to work, but even if you do this, there will be parents who don't contribute. We put on a staff luncheon (each month a class does it, I think it is common at many preschools) so that the staff and teachers can stay and eat during their meeting. Our class put it on and we collected a grand total of $35 and someone brought a 6-pack of coke. Is it my idea to do a luncheon? No. But we do it, so there it is. I actually think it's nice to do for teachers. About 3 parents ended up doing it all and paying for it all (just sandwiches and fruit and drinks). It had nothing to do with the PTA or cliques or looking good. So yes, I think that the people who don't help are takers. Maybe they can't right now, but it doesn't change that they are taking and not contributing. [b]And I know they don't volunteer in other ways.[/b] They could have come to set up or clean up too. Or just volunteer to make calls and collect money from other parents![/quote]

How do you know this? How do you know what other parents can and can't do? How is what other parents can and can't do any of your business?[/quote]
