If you want to laugh, read 'Class Mom'. Jen is dragged into being class mom and she goes kicking and screaming all the way with snark and humor. However, her snark and humor are under appreciated by her fellow parents. If you are over 'woke' and completely politically correct, 'Class Mom' is probably not for you. If you still have a funny bone and/or an ounce of humor you'll get a kick out of it. The story took a bit of a weird turn with one of the parents being her old unrequited heart-throb, but then much of the story read like the diary of her life during that one year as Class Mom. Having had kids in both public and Catholic schools I can say with some authority that parent politics and gossip puts national politics to shame, and trust me, private schools are far worse than the public schools. 'Class Mom' accurately captures the absurdities, from hovering moms to disengaged teachers to fingers-in-every-pie-mastering-none opinionated principals all wrapped around doing it "for the children." For some volunteers a resounding yes, for many, um NO!, the children are not their main agenda. But hey, volunteer in high school, especially in/near the cafeteria at lunch and you will know what your kid is up to!
