[quote=Anonymous]DP.  I completely disagree with many of these comments.

It could be that the OP's school is totally perfect and there is never an issue there.

More likely, I think the OP is describing a dysfunctional PTA that probably doesn't represent parents at all.  Parents at her school will probably file complaints versus talk them through to find a solution.

I've attended a PTA meeting at one school which is very open, very active and people attend.  During covid they actually TALKED about covid.  When parents had problems they TALKED about problems.  There were means of COMMUNICATION that parents could use.

I've attended another PTA meeting where they tried to change the bylaws so that fewer PTA members could change future bylaws because they couldn't even get their own senior members to attend.  That PTA had a parent set up social media that only published "happy time feel-good" posts.  It was just a "play nice" MCPS mouthpiece.

The purpose of a PTA is to represent parents on controversial issues.  When you don't provide that value, of course no parent will support the PTA, and no - a PTA like that isn't representing parents at all.[/quote]
