[quote=Anonymous]I have kids in two different middle schools. One has PTA dues of $10 and manages to pay for cultural enrichment, support field trips, teacher grants, etc. That PTA would like to have more money but runs in teh black every year. The other school has PTA dues of $40 per family and also has a reputation for elitism. The worst is their attitude to the student directories. Everyone has access to a smartphone app which gives directory info but only kids whose parents pay dues receive a hard copy directory. They hand out the directories in class and PTA officers make sure to announce that they are only for kids whose parents joined the PTA. Of course, the lower income kids are less likely to have access to a smartphone app and need the paper directory more. Plus the "shaming of the poors" is simply too much. The more I see the nasty elitism and class-superiority of some MCPS schools, the more it nauseates me.[/quote]
