School asking parents to decorate classes

[CaraFara]

I've just received an email from my daughters secondary school asking for volunteers to go in next weekend to paint some of the classrooms. Am I wrong to think Wtf? I am pretty sure my parents were never asked to do this. I know money is tight but surely this is just part and parcel of maintaining the building. What next, when I go to the doctors am I expected to do a spot of gardening whilst there?

Oh get over yourself sushimonster.like I said, I didn't know this was a thing and said I would contact my MP. I wasn't whinging as such, more just having a discussion about why this has happened and why we accept it. But maybe I'll be able to rephrase it as 'political campaigning' once I've contacted the MP and I'll join you on the smug do-gooders bench. Budge over love.

I'm a teacher and I had to do the deep clean of my classroom this year.

And I'm going to order some glue sticks and paper on amazon tonight.

I'm off to straighten my halo right now.

I remember some of the dads creating a pond in our Wildlife Area, when I was at school. That was back in the 90s.
