[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the goal to get parents more involved with the school or with their kids (the latter seems more important to me). I've asked several parents why they don't participate in PTA. Each of them described such a hectic schedule and lack of time that I started feeling overwhelmed for them. How about putting up a sign at drop off or sending an email that says... Parents want to help. What do you need? Tutoring? Pick-up? Parents who can help. What can you provide? Tutoring? Babysitting? Why not make the PTA about helping the kids (thus helping parents who need it). Then, naturally folks will get involved. I don't know. Crazy idea?[/quote] Love it! And love your empathy.[/quote]
