[quote=Anonymous]Inspired Teaching is quite UNCONVENTIONAL, eg. Back to School Night with the kids not only in attendance but in the room running around (believe it or not, because the administration was fine with it, it worked); and--as noted--no formal PTA/PTO.

I'm not sure why the school seems reluctant to put one in place.  I haven't gotten a clear answer on that.  It would seem to me that it would be to their advantage to do so since they now are involved in the minutia of items that parents could clearly handle on their own and thus remove from the administration's full plate.  However, it's the first year and they'll shortly figure out what ultimately works best.

In the meantime, we've managed to have quite a few successful community building family gatherings (pot luck dinners and such).  It's been nice.  Also, the Holiday fest is just ahead and it is being organized by some of the more active parents, sans a PTA/PTO.

The down side with the current set up is that decisions are made by the administration and just a few active parents on the individual committees, as opposed to the entire parent community having an opportunity to weigh in at a PTA meeting.  The upside is that decisions are made by the administration and just a few active parents on the individual committees, as opposed to the entire parent community having an opportunity to weigh in at a PTA meeting.  :twisted:[/quote]
