[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that often people started doing the group thing to make it easier on all the parents- contribute if wish, don't if you don't want to- it will from the class.  Stops a bunch of families from trying to decide if they want to do something and if so, what? It seems people think hte intention is to control it or make it harder, when in actuality it is trying to make things easier.  Particiapte or don't, but don't stress over it!  [/quote]

Participation is not "voluntary."  No one wants to make their kids feel like the loser who doesn't like the teacher.  As a parent, it really seems like the room moms who plan these week of giving things have too much time on their hands and are trying to outdo one another.  And there are multiple posters objecting to these "activities" so don't bother writing how miserable I am.[/quote]yi

Room mom here (not PTA).  Not trying to out-do anyone just trying to make teacher's week as special as it can be for all of the work they do for my children and yours.  And I really don't care if you participate.  But shame on you for teaching your children how to be bitter and lazy.  Obviously you have a little to much time on your hands to spread your bitterness on an anonymous forum yet not enough time to spread a little kindness and happiness.  And for what it is worth, after I raised my children and tucked them in for the night I stayed up until 1am preparing for teacher appreciation week because I wouldn't miss it for the world.  When I showed up with morning coffee for my children's teacher's it was just as much of a reward for me seeing the proud smiles on my childrens faces as it was seeing the smiles on their teachers!

Try it you might like it   :wink: [/quote]
