Schools usually honor requests to avoid another child, so you can ask why this request was not honored.

However for all the rest, shame on you, OP!

What you expected was highly unethical and immoral.

I have been on the PTA Board for years, and would not tolerate it if my child received favors as a result. That is NOT why I volunteer.
I want to help all the students, not my children in particular.

And as the parent of a child with special needs, I find your remark about the slow learner particularly offensive. At our MCPS school, children with special needs do not slow down the rest of the class - they have aides in the classroom, who help others as well as the child in question, so it's actually a bonus for everyone.

You are a disgusting human being. [/quote]

+1 I was a room parent last year in my oldest child's class. Her teacher was awful and I hated her, in large part because she sought to ignore the accommodations my child needs and made things harder than they needed to be. But I didn't volunteer to curry favor with the teacher - I did it because my child asked me to do it and to make the few class parties allowed at her school fun for the whole class.

Volunteers shouldn't be able to "buy" influence. And kids with special needs have every right to be in the "good" classrooms too.[/quote]

Maybe things would be even harder for your child if you didn't volunteer. 
I am volunteering because I want my son to have great field trips, new books in the classroom (placing scholastic orders which the teachers might not have time for), the most productive time at science lessons (where they need more hands on volunteers). It is all intertwined. I want my child to have a good, productive learning experience. [/quote]
