[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno, I feel like I did make some minor improvement. I did all the paperwork to get the PTO up and running as a nonprofit. We wrote some grants, not huge ones but it's money they wouldn't have otherwise had, and some of the grants are renewable. Paid for a bunch of stuff to make teachers' lives easier (such as an additional copier and a pallet of paper). Revamped the website with content and nice photos. Tried to, very politely and constructively, identify problems and propose solutions. It's slow going but I do think, over a period of years, these investments add up.[/quote]

It does sound like you made an improvement.

I think something I am learning from all of this is: No school is perfect, but if you feel heard and involved, you can have success. It seems to me that if parents are unhappy, and they really have tried and don't feel supported, then it's not for them.

I'm feeling better about our choices and more likely to have our 3rd child join the school too.[/quote]
