Also, yes, as I said on Fb, as much as I enjoy volunteering for and attending school fundraisers--the community that is strengthened by them--it's a travesty that parents have to slave away to raise money for freaking public schools at all.

But I admit, I chose my kids' elementary school not for the academics, but for the super cool collection of parents. I wanted fun friends!JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204273215290917463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-77778850290902585332012-09-21T11:55:44.031-04:002012-09-21T11:55:44.031-04:00bruce sounds truly hideous. and our poor kids! c...bruce sounds truly hideous. and our poor kids! can think of nothing else but getting bruce! another of my anti-fundrasing arguments: so, so, so distracting for the children.larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-37116347309481943512012-09-21T11:54:43.482-04:002012-09-21T11:54:43.482-04:00yes! yes! yes!yes! yes! yes!larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967263058541485619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-75252554971242814092012-09-20T23:51:24.622-04:002012-09-20T23:51:24.622-04:00Yes, I will pay more to improve public education (...Yes, I will pay more to improve public education (and not have my kids going to assemblies where they come home saying that they only need to sell 80 items to get "Bruce" , the remote control ballon shark).Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021034714861627112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632941727207751747.post-83706194060453098782012-09-20T23:23:47.762-04:002012-09-20T23:23:47.762-04:00Amen.

After serving two years on our PTA board I had to take a year off and get my life back. It's exhausting and frustrating but you feel that if you don't do it your kid won't get all the stuff he needs. Stop cutting education!!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455708672460506308noreply@blogger.com
