Hey no apologies necessary. I mean really. I didn't mean to make it sound so 'dark'. I was actually trying to portray it lightly. You've met me. I'm as easy going and social as can be until you shine the spotlight on me.
Your question was pertinent question. The dynamics are tricky managing all those parents. The teachers actually really liked us. (Gary and I were co presidents) Some of the parents can be a bear but we had good cooperation also. I will tell you a little secret though. Once a teacher warned me not to ask a particular single parent to help insinuating that she was too poor and it would put her on the spot. I decided to ask anyway. She was absolutely thrilled. She brought in homemade cookies. Some parents really do wish they could help more.
