Any parent can do something, once or twice a year. There are after-hours volunteer opportunities (set-up, clean-up) and opportunities to do small donations like send cookies or supplies to the classroom (less than $10). There really is no excuse for not doing ANYTHING. [/quote]

You don't know what other parents do; you don't know what other parents can do; you don't get to say what other parents should do.

If you think there's something that needs to be done, then do it. Or sit around and complain about how other people should want what you want and do as you do.[/quote]

There are parents on this thread who state that they don't do anything.  My comment was directed to them.  If they really do NOTHING for their schools, not even send in store-bought cookies for a holiday party,[b] they are selfish assholes who are modeling selfish asshole behavior for their kids[/b]. A school is a community and everybody should be contributing to the well-being of the community.

I'm mostly a donation person, not a volunteer person, myself. I don't have a shred of guilt about that.  I don't have time to worry about what the PTA volunteer parents say about it. [b]I don't have time to complain about other parents, either.[/b] [/quote]

Apparently you do.[/quote]
