[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a W school and our foundation does this to raise money for things like instruments and professional development. Teachers go for free if they want to go, so I don't know what they charge families, but they are generally hosted by well-meaning parents with nice houses. The foundation is the fundraising arm of the school, not the PTA. There's no question that it's not the same situation at every school, with W schools probably able to raise more money than schools with fewer wealthy families. The parents who host are generally working parents though. [/quote] Foundation can bypass mcps and the pta. So they are very useful if you want to throw money at the problem. I think it is fabulous that there are well funded PTAs in some schools. My kids always went to poor schools, but the rich schools provided a road map to emulate and some clever parents were able to bring the same programs to the poor schools for pennies.[/quote]
