I find it really frustrating, so I'm just gonna bitch about it. I understand that not everyone agrees with using a casino to raise funds for to enhance their child's education, or that people need to work and can't find a day off, people single parent and may not have someone to watch their children while they work a shift. But in a school of 100 students, there should be no difficulty filling these casino spots. That's one fantastic thing I miss about the girls' old school - even when we had a measly 40 students, we always had more than enough casino workers.
Please do NOT ignore the fact that working a casino is going to contribute about $70,000 to your child's school over two years. That means field trips and artist in residence programs that YOU DON'T have to pay for out of pocket. So why is it that a very select few worked BOTH days of the casino? I even saw a teacher working it. WTF? I find it really frustrating because I get it. I get how important that money is. And for you to continue to stay in your ignorant position and not even TRY to realize how much it means really pisses me off. For you to have the attitude that someone else will do it, absolutely grates on my nerves. I personally was sick as a dog. I also had to get the girls' Dad to drive 3 hours into town so he could stay with them while I worked the casino until 3 am, at which point he got into his vehicle and drove 3 hours back so he could go to work the next day. I also had to get up and take children to school the next day and head to work for 9. Was this insanely exhausting on my already exhausted mind and body? Definitely. But it is 1 night out of 2 years! So if more people could just do their part for their child's education, I wouldn't feel the need to bitch about it.

Yeah, I joined the parent council at DS' school and I am betting it will be the group of parents doing most of the volunteering over the next few years. I am doing a casino next month. I do find the casino work troubling (because of addictions), I wish our taxes were spent smarter to provide schools with what they need.
