I was a girl scout leader this last school year. It was fun but a lot of the parent's considered it an after school care program that was free. None of the parents volunteered to help, it was just me and one other troop leader, and a lot of the parents were late picking up their kids. One mother I even got to the point that I would call every time 30 minutes before the meeting was over because she would be up to 1 hour late. Since we were going through my daughter's school, and she has been going there for 5 years I pretty much know all of the parents, and the same ones that were the latest are the same ones that are always complaining about the school, but I never see them at parent meetings, or volunteering. And being a working parent is no excuse because I work a 40 hour week, and for a little while I was working almost 60, and still made time to be around.

For most of my parenthood I have been a single mom too. (not easy!!!) And I too did as much as I could at school. (I have a speical needs child)What I have found in my many years dealing with other parents at school is complaining about the school is a way of justifying themselves not taking a more active roll in their childs education and that most people think that the school is souly responsible for all things academic they send them to school and expect their job is done!!!!

They're as deep as a glass of water and they want to seem intelligent and feel superior by complaining and "calling the school on the carpet" so-to-speak.

The people that are the ones that most complain about everything are usually the ones that never get off of their asses and do anything about anything. It will all change when I am king of the world.

some parents suck and they really dont care all that much about their kids, just about their own social status as though they were still in highschool. they should just grow up and actually pay attention to their kids, thats why kids turn to drugs and crap cus theres nothing better to do!!

laziness... it's easier to be apart of the problem than the solution
