[quote=Anonymous]I don't get all the disdain for parents who are actively involved in the PTA. Many of the officers and other people most active in our PTA are working parents. Others SAH. I don't consider any of what they do to be make-work. Sure, most of it (all of it?) is not strictly necessary, but my family really enjoys all of the events our PTA puts on, the after-school activities, etc. I really appreciate all that is done for the teachers for teacher appreciation week so that I don't have to feel personally responsible for doing anything more than a $15 Starbucks card and having my kids make cards. I work but primarily from home and in a flexible job so I do volunteer but not nearly as much as many others, some of whom work longer hours than I do. I so appreciate those who put in so much more than I do. [/quote]
