For the book fair next week, I've asked for some parent volunteers- specifically, one volunteer per 2 hour shift. Not only is there really only enough work for one volunteer at a time but more to the point- if there's more than one parent volunteer, they often end up talking to each other instead of actually helping me.
Two BFF parents came up to me at dismissal today to ask if they could sign up for the same shift. I started by explaining I don't really need more than one helper at a time but then ended with, "You can only work with a partner if you'll get your work done" in my best teacher-talking-to-students voice. They laughed and now all I can do is hope their joint volunteer shift goes smoothly.
