You should join your PTO as an advisory board member. It's the only way to really have a say about how those things get done.

That's all I'm sayin....

I think you missed the point of my rant. I said that I do understand the need, I just don't like the way it's done...that was my main gripe. It's hard to sell when everybody's kids are selling at the same time. At our school, the fall festival is a fundraiser, not a result of one. I do appreciate what the teachers do and I do appreciate that the money is going to the PTO but that still doesn't mean I have to like the way they go about it. Some new ideas, higher quality and less frequency is all I'm asking for...

As for my gripe with the state, I still think they could do more. With the education lottery they should have more money to work with, yet it always seems as if they ask more of the parents with each passing year.

But thanks for the lesson anyway.

I gotta speak up here, Mikey..

While I'm not at your particular school I think I could safely say it's run the same as ours, so you need to know that money raised goes to the PTO. And the PTO uses that money to fund: special events for the kids like fall festival, dances, talent shows, pizza parties, etc. It also funds fun events for teachers like: appreciation luncheons, small gifts and necessary items the county/state won't pay for. The idea behind this funding is that a happy teacher is an effective teacher.

The reason the fundraisers go out so quickly and so early is because the PTO starts up their year already in need to booster their budget. This is the case at pretty much every school.

We all hate selling the stuff, even PTO board members like me, but you have to realize how necessary it is to keep your school happy. Both kids and teachers.

And even though it seems annoying, just realize your PTO really is in it for the right reasons. I know that's the case for me.

Okay, I'm done!

I always say, "just McGuyver it"
which usually meants duct tape or some afro american engineering of some kind. both david and i seem to be good at this, but his are work related, mine or more practical around the house applications.

One of the greatest movies of all time. I spent the better part of 30 years in this exact same environment so I can relate.

All my previous cool points are now stricken. Damn.

And then there's toilet related injuries. I have to give Cracked from providing me with inspiration for this post and for a couple of the odd finds.

2008-07-02T16:42:00.000-04:00

Here's two more I found, though these weren't hard to come by. The Shocker and Donkey Punch. Though still it's nice that Wikipedia provides an outlet for things like this, I'm looking for crazier things that I need to learn about.

Hell yes, I wish I had the balls to send this to my Mother and Sister In Law.

I'm so sick of having their religious values shoved down my throat, including the power of prayer crap.

Very cool. Don't wear it around me though. It's not polite to parade your coolness in front of others.

I would know that Earache block weird-angled printing anywhere.

Sigh. Miss him.

This must have been after my time, but it's still relevant after all these years. I mean, who isn't searching for the world's greatest taco?
