[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the "donations" are a problem for equality:[/quote] If any of these equity plans are ever put into effect, parents and teachers would find ways to circumvent them.Possibilities: Teachers post desired items on the Donors Choose website. Parents donate to it rather than the PTO. (There are dozens of projects from DC teachers at schools with less vigorous PTAs listed. Yes, some of the donors aren't parents, but many are.) Teachers post desired items on an Amazon Wish list. Parents purchase items from the wish lists. Parents give their kids' teachers gift cards to Amazon, Target and other stores. The room parent may collect money to give in gift cards, so that teachers don't know how much any one family gives. I am sure there are other ways. My point is simply that if the PTA has to share money with other schools, parents will bypass the PTA and donate in other ways. [/quote]
