We have a fabulous pta which works hard and raises loads of money.
I know there are perks of being senior PTA but at my dc primary school there is sometimes a feelings of “dividing the spoils” at the end of an event like a school fair or bbq. I always feel a bit uncomfortable and I’ve stopped helping out at clear-up.
Recently there was a lovely raffle at an event. PTA said they’d hold the draw at the end. I stayed to clear up. But they waited til everyone left then let their kids draw the winning tickets. The kids were sniggering and I realised they had each bought a ticket and hidden it in their palms so they just pulled out their own ticket, literally the top prizes were all taken by the PTA!
The pta team had their backs turned but the kids were loud and obvious and if I could tell, their mums and dads must have noticed.
I do think it’s nice to reward the pta but I think it’s a bit rich to literally take all the prizes!
aibu to spurn the raffle in future?
