[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. PTA parent who picked my kids teachers here.

As long as you are nice, and work to foster a relationship with the principal in a positive way, why should they say no?

I can see the PTA parents who are a pain in the butt not getting accommodated, but really- volunteering at the school for both SAH and working moms should equal some perks. It's only fair.

Amen, I too am a PTSA President. I have done my best to never cross the line. I only advocate on behalf of all of the students, not just mine. We (our Exec Board) have tried to encourage parents to participate. We are not cliquey, we only want parents to come in and help serve their school community. We have opportunities for everyone, whenever a person is available to volunteer we are happy to have them.  I  as well as the other board members spend and incredible amount of time working to improve the school environment for students and teachers. I have never asked for anything back in return.  I am so sick of people complaining about SAHM's, they have chosen to volunteer their time when it would be easier to find a part time job that actually pay's and appreciates them for their efforts. My student had an awful time with one of his teachers last year and BECAUSE of my PTSA affiliation, I let him handle speaking with the counselor and the AP. He was unable to switch his class and struggled the whole year. I never ever even mentioned the issues in my meetings with the principal. 
PS: To all of you who just sit back and complain, please try to find a committee to volunteer on, or do something more productive than point fingers and make false accusations. To the complainer: is your school a member of the state and national PTA's or are they a PTO? (I have been in PTO's and there are some good one's too, but PTA has more stringent rules)
I WILL SWEAR TO YOU THAT MY STUDENT DOES NOT GET ANY SPECIAL PREFERENCE BASED ON MY POSITION!!! /quote][/quote]
