[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No interest, not a joiner. I'm happy to write you a check, but it's not clear to me that "parent engagement" per se improves the school. If there's a specific thing you want me to do (like clean up the school yard, take a role in a fundraiser) I'm likely to pitch in. But just "be involved" for the sake of being involved? No. [/quote] Who do you think organizes those clean up activities, or coordinates fund raising? These things don't magically happen -- they take commitment of time and energy from parents like yourself. No one is forcing you to join, but your dismissive attitude towards people who make these things happen is the bigger issue than parents trying to contribute positively towards their school communities.[/quote]
