[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The listserv moderator is controlling, claiming she is limiting the clutter. When in fact all she is add clutter by passing along the administration’s emails. In the past, parents could discuss such incidents freely without this extreme censorship. Another list serv is necessary for this school. [/quote] I agree that passing along every message from the school was annoying. I can’t imagine that there are many parents who don’t get the Remind messages but are on the PTSA listserv. I do appreciate that they are strict about what gets approved during these incidents, though, because there are always a lot of rumors that end up not being true and don’t help an already tense situation. [/quote] I agreed with her position not to pass along messages in that period. It’s mostly rumor and unhelpful. Frankly, it’s a volunteer position. If she said she was only going to pass along whatever messages she could get through from 8pm-9pm, it would be ok. Maybe better. [/quote] I'm a BCC parent who has been on the list serv for at least 8 years (multiple kids.) I'm hugely supportive of the current modertor's approach; there are too many random messages as it is, and no one needs a flood of baseless speculation during a crisis. Personally I would apply a quota - there are two or three parents who agitate over every single thing that happens. And the people who feel the need to send every single music booster activity or sports annoucement, enough already.[/quote] Let's be honest here. The music activities posts are dwarved by a certain person posting in all caps about sports :-) He doesn't even have kids at the school anymore, they're all adults. He's been an annoying fixture in local schools for years, I've had the misfortune to note. Please dude, retire already!!! Now we're getting into his annual mulch mania. Sigh. [/quote] I love that guy! I do have a kid that plays a sport but under any circumstances I love how affirming he is of all sports. He wants to highlight success irrespective of whether you are in trendy sport or a less actively followed sport. I love to see examples of students doing great at extra curriculars and getting some public acknowledgement for their hard work. I love how the boosters invest in all sports. I think he is miles better than boosters from other schools who only prioritize football and boys basketball. [/quote] +1 I think he is great. And I don't have kids who play sports. [/quote] I'm the PP who proposed a quota. The listserv goes to my work email because ideally it has relevant, timely information about my kids. Like letting me know the school is in lockdown. I can't deal with dozens of emails a week about each game and score. I finally figured out a way to send Sports Fan's emails to my junk folder. Pretty soon I'm going to have to do the same with the music family. There should be a separate listserv for people who want this level of information about HS sports daily. [/quote] Any important information that you need to know right away, like the school being on lockdown, always comes directly from the school. Anything you’d get about it from the listserv is a repost of the Remind messages. You can change your listserv settings to get a daily digest, or you can send it to your non-work email since none of it is time-sensitive or you can delete the emails that aren’t relevant to your kids or you can keep sending them to junk mail. Not worth being this annoyed over a school listserv that no one forces you to be on! [/quote] +1. Who are these who haven’t figured out how to manage their email?[/quote]
