[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think that the school staff should do many of things that PTAs are doing. We came from a smaller school system and the school's front office coordinated the big events. They would ask for parent volunteers to bring in food but the spirit events were school not parent driven. The teachers were very active in getting grants and bringing in programs that were free for enrichment. These weren't the multiple session ones given by small private companies but local museums that would send docents, community organization type things, etc. The local plant nursery sponsored the garden and would send someone out to talk about the plants. The principal would organize speakers and parent education activities in the evenings. Open house was a big fun event not the scripted presentations that they have here.

The school was not as well funded as the schools here but the staff didn't have all the data and reporting stuff up to a central office that seems to take up so much time.
