[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And let's not mince words: you know exactly who you are, you that do these things.

It is entirely possible to fundraise for a school in a positive way, a way that does not exclude others or call them parasites. Seriously, in what universe is it okay to call other parents parasites? Frankly, knowing the school you're talking about--not really sure you were actually ever even there yourself. Oh, but the gala. And supporting those "enrichment" programs, which are mostly YouTube videos
. well then.[/quote]

Wow, you truly have no idea what you are talking about.  You Tube videos?  Our enrichment classes are taught by professionals in the field that are paid for by the PTA.

And FWIW I'm not the person that called parents parasites.  But I don't equate raising money for school with a junior league.  As many have said, our school does lots of events that are free and inclusive.  The auction is the one thing for which you buy tickets. Some people go, some don't.  It raises half the PTA's budget.  Without it, the teachers would have to ask parents for money in different ways-- supply fees, field trip fees, etc.  We think this is a better model.  If you know a way for raise big dollars in other ways, please share so that we can all benefit.[/quote]
