[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t PTAs get with the times and do virtual meetings like the rest of the world?![/quote]

Because it mostly about building community, not accomplishing a list of tasks. We do both, of course, but the virtual meetings are pointless -- might as well send an email to accomplish the same thing.[/quote]
It's hard to build community when you are excluding a large portion of families.[/quote]

I find it hard to believe neither mom nor dad is ever available at whatever time your PTA meets. [/quote]

And I find it hard to believe you think it’s appropriate to schedule an in person meeting during working hours …[/quote]

It has been explained to you over and over. The world doesn’t revolve around you.[/quote]

SAHM don’t own the school, as much as they delusionally believe that they do. Our school had PTA meetings at 6pm because the working moms (and dads) were the competent once who knew how to run a 200k budget organization. The SAHM did stupid things like foist their inconvenient momentary pet projects on the school that nobody actually wants. If you cannot figure out how to run meetings that allow attendance by people with j-o-b-s (and on whom you are relying for the bulk of your donations) then you are not completent to run the PTA. OTOH if you just want to control teacher appreciation week, go ahead. [/quote]
