[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Really? Just like the SAHMs who would prefer to spend time with their families in the evenings rather than attend a 7pm PTA meeting, I would prefer use my paid leave/vacation time to spend time with my family rather than use it to attend a PTA meeting.

Again with the SAHMs. Are you just jealous or what? Because plenty of working moms don’t want to meet at 7 either. I can’t imagine being this worked up about missing a PTA meeting. Count your blessings- they are boring and they will talk about planning a bunch of events you won’t agree with or want to use your precious time volunteering at.[/quote]

Way to miss the point, lady.[/quote]

What is your point other than dumping on other parents? The PTA meeting isn’t worth all this angst. Nothing of substance happens at these meetings.[/quote]

Then why are you going on and on and on about this stuff on this thread? Move over to troll a different thread. Or have we all struck a nerve? [/quote]
