why do they need accountant? Do the school accounts? i thought PV is usually become traffic warden, or data entry (if any) or become some cheap labour (Ku Li) to help up in school events ?

Can the PV work be shared amongst family? for eg, grandmother and mother , assuming that the school accepts both under whatever criteria they use. Or does the PV have to be done by 1 person?

Depends on the school - some allow Father and Mother to share the load, others may not. But generally, grandma/pa, aunties/uncle not part of the load sharing.

Only father or mother can do PV...NO grandma, grandpa, auntie, uncle or MAID.

Times have changed, the schools look at PV for the things which they have gaps in. The usual stuff are recess etc but almost every parent can do it so when they have an inflood of requests, they tend to nit pick on the professions and what the parent can offer...

Yeah! Parents are free labor to school. I am in IT so I always asked to troublshoot their LAN system…etc. It was so stress in case I can’t fix their problem.
