[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And the OP complaining about $15 PTA dues but yet wants a free directory that the PTA spends hours putting together. Seriously?

The OP stated that she donates.  I think if you contribute a dish for teacher appreciation, work the carnival or do any of the other endless volunteer jobs you have provided enough to get a directory.  I think it's just looks cheap and manipulative to hold out the directory for membership.

PTA's pay 1.25 for Mont. Co PTA and 3.75 to Maryland and National PTA dues per every member.  I can see the value in the Montgomery county PTA. but not the Maryland or National PTA organizations. [/quote]

OP here. Actually I would like to pay for the directory, but not join the PTA.  Infact, if the PTA charged me  the same amount that a PTA membership costed (or slightly more), without making me a member, all that money would go to my school.  I would prefer that.

I donate directly to the school for all kinds of things - teacher appreciation being one of them. I participate in PTA organized book fairs and have directly donated for fundraisers where children are supposed to sell things to the neighbors etc.  I just do not want to be in the PTA because I feel that the PTA should be waiving any dues from poor SES schools.
