[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this attitude new? My kids are still daycare age and I had no idea this was such an expectation. I don't remember my (working) parents doing all of this volunteering/donating/etc. at my Fairfax county public schools in the 80s and 90s. And I don't remember them feeling guilty about it either. They paid their taxes that funded those schools, they were great parents who cared about our education and read to us and helped us with our homework. Maybe they wrote a membership check to the PTA once a year? But they certainly weren't hanging around our classroom reading to us there or planning teacher breakfasts. Is this expected now?[/quote] Some parents do these things and believe that other parents should be doing them too. Other parents believe that what they do is their business, and what the other parents do is the other parents' business.[/quote]
