[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do the snack cart at my school and it's always filled with junk food!  Do teachers really want this?

Generally, no.

PTA's need to start cluing in.[/quote]

PTAs  are run by SAHMs with nothing to do all day. They pretend this is a "job." 99% of what they do is busy work they create for themselves and the teachers neither ask for it or want/expect it. Almost none of the teachers in this school will visit this snack bar because we are there to work those days which is what we are doing. We don't want snacks, we aren't juveniles. If you don't like this proposition, and I don't blame you, tell the PTA. The teachers have nothing to do with it and don't care at all about it. [/quote]
Our PTA is majority working mothers, as is the one where I teach. I don't know if you are bitter that you have to work, you have a crappy school or it's something else but your attitude sucks. I say this as a former SAHM who returned to teaching (and I like the snacks but don't expect them)[/quote]

If your PTA is working moms then I guarantee it doesn't do stuff like this. Because they're actually busy with real work. I choose to work, I LOVE my job. I do not love PTA moms who insist on doing this stuff for their own need to feel busy and then we the teachers who don't even want it (or a weeklong teacher appreciation, or Starbucks gift cards at Christmas ) get blamed for the work the PTA moms make you feel like you have to do. People love to act like the teachers demand this stuff and we don't even WANT it. [/quote]

Really, some of the most intense PTA moms I've met are working moms[/quote]
