[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not active in PTA stuff, so here is my take.

If you don't volunteer, you don't get to complain about what the PTA does.

If you do volunteer occassionally, you politely give input, with the understanding that they might go with something else due to traditions, school limitations that they know but you don't, or because your idea is hoing to be really inconvenient for the people running things.

If you volunteer all the time, especially for an officer or leadership position, which always appear hard to fill, at least from the repeated emails the PTA sends each spring, then you get to do things like set meeting times that are convenient for the leadership and the people putting in a lot of hours.

Complaining about the PTA officers setting a meeting time that is not convenient for you, is akin to compplaining about the crappy incompetent rec league coach who is the only parent who volunteered to coach your kid's team which would have folded if they couldn't find a coach.

If you want to set the time for the PTA meetings next year to a time that is convenient to you, then volunteer to be an officer or a committee chair next year.[/quote]
If you take that attitude, you guarantee that no one else will be active in the PTA. Public meetings should be held when the public can attend.[/quote]
