[quote=Anonymous]At your school. At ours, it's the opposite--the teacher coordinates the trip, parents pay a nominal fee, and the PTA fills in the rest as needed from the field trip fund. That's why I hate blanket statements about the PTA. These organizations vary tremendously from school to school. Ours is quiet, unassuming, and works their asses off--always the same people doing all the crap work. If you don't like yours, ignore them. Membership is not mandatory.[/quote] Yes but where does your PTA get their money to "fill in the gaps" Wow, uh..."wild guess" uh..., uh...YOU and all the other parents that support the fundraisers they "choose" coordinate. So why does the PTA (you included) view these funds as theirs? The are not "theirs" PTA's are mearly facilitators of "our" money. So...PTA's get off your high horse and work with the parents and stop spewing your "we do everthing" crap cause, guess what, you don't! [/quote]
