[quote=Anonymous]We live in a relatively well-off neighborhood, but only about 50% of families at our school even join the PTA. Only a couple dozen people staff the various committees and run all the events that make it work year after year. Some of us feel so overspent that we're ready to throw in the towel. We have had to downsize fundraising efforts that could bring in tons more money if we had more people to help. As a result, the PTA offerings at our school pale in comparison to some other schools with similar demographics and one mom I talked to at one of my kids' outside classes mentioned that as a reason not to move into our district. I'm just wondering what motivates people not to join their school's PTA and help out in whatever way they can. It's not like public schools are awash in money.[/quote]
