[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost interest in attending my local public school meetings after I got hit a few times with “why are you here if your kids don’t go to school here?” and “why should we listen to you if you don’t even send your kids here?”. I told myself I was there because I wanted to contribute and still cared about the issue of education, but I realized that any position I took was either ignored as irreverent or even mistrusted because my kids didn’t go there. As a result, I wasn’t really able to help the conversation in any way. [/quote] I'm one of the PPs who mentioned PTA and you raise a really important point. As someone without a kid in the school, it is not appropriate for me to be PTA president or drive policy -- I'm not part of the "conversation." I'm available to do work, like volunteer at an event or help set up after-school enrichment. [/quote]
