[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Manpower matters a lot. There are a lot of grants available through National PTA, for instance, but to be eligible you have to have at least a certain number of volunteers to run the sponsored event/program. If parents aren't willing to help, it's a lot of missed opportunities.[/quote] The stereotype is that NA has a lot of SAHM who provide the core labor for PTAs, and there aren't many SAHM in SA. Is there truth to it?[/quote] In our NA PTA, there are plenty of SAHP volunteers but there are also a lot of people who volunteer in addition to working. Only one member of our PTA board is a SAHP, the rest all work, most of them full-time.[/quote] I think that must be a big part of it. I've lived in SA for 6 years and in that time I've met dozens of parents, but I have yet to meet a SAHP or hear of a spouse or partner who is one. [/quote]
