[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a white mom of a child in ECE who has also been very involved with their Title I school's PTO, the type of comments from OP are so demoralizing. It's frustrating when someone subscribes motive for another person volunteering based on their race and age of child. [/quote]

Yes, characterizing the involvement of ECE parents in the PTO as "trying to change" the school is not an accurate reflection of why most parents joint the PTO when their kids are in early grades. For me it was just a desire to be involved, get to know other parents, and support whatever the school was already doing however I could. I wasn't trying to take over or tell anyone how to run the school. In fact most of the time it was the opposite -- as a newer parent at the school, getting involved in the PTO was a way for me to learn from veteran parents, teachers, and administrators about the school. I just didn't know anything when it all started. I also have an only child so every single age/grade/phase is a first time experience for me, I've found the more information I have, the better.[/quote]
