[quote=Anonymous]If any parent feels that their student would do better in another classroom, they should definitely talk to the Principal and make a case.  However, they should be prepared to be open to hear the reasons why the school might feel that the student is a better fit in the "undesirable" class.  This has nothing to do with being in the PTA or not.  This has everything to do with parents advocating for their children.

As a parent I would cringe if my child is shown a preferential treatment at school just because of my involvement with the PTA.  Do the staff and teachers know who my child is? Sure. My kid is roped into doing PTA work outside of the school day and many people witness that he is tagging along for evening meetings etc because I cannot leave him alone at night to attend PTA meetings.

Every parent wants their students to be liked by teachers and staff because they are good students, well behaved, respectful and helpful. As PTA parent we are in the business of facilitating enrichment opportunities for all students.  Our children automatically benefit when the whole school benefits. [/quote]
