The work is mostly done by the parents from my experience.

The last ten-20 items I bought from fundraisers were useless and overpriced to say the least. Ex. $15 for a calendar and key-chain. The same or better quality items were easily found at my local 99 cent store. What a disappointment.

Schools should spend less time on fund-raising and try to encourage reading or math and get sponsors from large corporations to donate they need the write offs anyway. It saves PTA so much headache long term.

It is the second month of school and my son has already has 2 fundraisers at his school. I put them straight in the trash and take him out to dinner.

Against it.
