[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to volunteer a lot but have decided to donate $ instead because of the hyper competitive moms who just have way too much time on their hands.  For parents who just want to get things done, the politics oftentimes get in the way and out of hand.

I've been in meetings where a PTA President would spend 3 hours discussing a topic which could have easily taken 15 minutes to resolve, and heard about her reprimanding another PTA member unreasonably, essentially because she didn't have full control over something she wanted to micro-manage.

Oftentimes the school administration can't do anything  because they're just grateful for parents volunteering to hold PTA posts but there really should be a more selective process on finding the right PTA members. And perhaps it's because they haven't reinstated the PTA voting process due to the pandemic.[/quote]

Our DS' school PTA president has been in post for I believe 3+ years, and they could really benefit from having a max term policy on these roles. Have seen this PTA president alienate a number of families during her time.[/quote]
