do PSDs keep track of which parents are super involved in fund-raising, going on field trips, etc.? Does that affect where they end up going to Kindergarten? DD is starting at a preschool this fall, and I'm due with #2 in October. No WAY do I want to think about having to be super involved all year! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Dont worry about it. This was us. We both WOHM, didn't volunteer at all, gave minimal $, and had a very successful school admissions process. Just dont be a PITA! [ Reply | More

I am not talking about the kind of pitas of the MC UB moms. I am talking about super wealthy eentitled, powerful parents suing each other over their teens behavior and the like. all this nicey nice of the early years and fitting into the group we hear about on UB goes out the window when the kids start to grow up.
