[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this is our school. I don’t mind it on occasion, but to do it for back to school, November work days, teacher app week, Xmas, etc - is a little excessive. [/quote]

I think it’s nice, but excessive too. But it’s not mandatory so simply ignore.[/quote]

The one email asked for contributions to three different events.  They aren't mandatory, but shouldn't the PTA at some point worry about donor fatigue and show some care in how many donation asks they make?  I don't think teachers should have to buy supplies.  I would be perfectly fine if at the beginning of quarters 2, 3 and 4 the PTA puts together a teacher supply request list and asks for donations.  All these random solicitations make me want to just delete the emails without reading them.  [/quote]

Agree with this so much. PTA, pick your battles. I would look askance at this request and then be pretty uninvolved in every request after that since it tells me their priorities are so out of whack.

Teachers should not be spending their own money in the classroom. Let's solve that problem first, as PP said. I give right to the teachers at this point. So done with PTA.[/quote]

Agree with this. PTA needs to pick their battles wisely, which they are not doing. They are too busy fighting over whether kids should have smartpop or regular popcorn at their holiday parties, as other threads here have shown.[/quote]
