Exactly. And they get the kids all worked up with the contests to see who can sell the most candy, or the most wrapping paper, or whatever, which always drives me crazy. Like you said, why can't we just all donate $5 and be done with it?
I liked volunteering at the boys' school when it was academic stuff, and actually interacting with the kids -- reading with the kids, doing projects, going on a field trip. Sitting around with a bunch of moms who pulled up in their Escalades and tottered around on their Ferragamos, discussing the merits of a daddy/daughter dance and/or a mom/son sports night made me want to pull my hair out, strand by strand.
