[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PAVE is somewhere between a grass roots and AstroTurf .org. There are real parents (I know a few) who are part of it and aren’t paid. They collaborated on what were their priority issues - [b]it wasn’t wholly dictated by the funders.[/b] They go to Council hearings, PCSB meetings and sometimes testify. Most of them view the donors as providing services to make them more professional and effective give, such as the a website, online advocacy tools etc. I was asked to join and asked a lot of questions. Decided not to because I didn’t have time.[/quote] Wanna bet? You have to give people enough slack or they will notice they are on a leash. AstroTurf that has just enough veneer of freedom to trick people who really do care. [/quote]
