[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]

Until just as many men as women participate in the PTA and organize snack carts, I’m not getting involved.

Oh wait, men don’t typically perform unpaid labor.  I won’t be either.

Enjoy the busy work, bake sales, dumb meetings, stupid teacher perks no one wants (they want cash!) etc.

I had previously lamented the lack of male involvement in the PTA, and my friend pointed out that her husband chooses to coach their daughter's soccer team instead, which I did think was a fair point.  They are a lot of demands on volunteer time these days.  [/quote]
