PSLE2010:

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.

Ha... I tot schools already have their in-house IT guy, or outsourced IT contracts?
Like that, U considered moonlighting a not?

I think different schools during different time have different needs and requirements which can be perfectly understood.


The problem arises when this requirement is not made known to the (PV) applicants and thus frustrates those who were rejected.

:lol:

Unfortunately, no school will ever inform PVs wannabe what they are looking for. So parents just have to apply and hope they are chosen. Although one has to state what areas they are good in, many times PV are asked to do something different...for eg paint mural in schools.
