[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Three kids, I work full time and we move quite often. I just don't have the time. [/b]I attend school functions, donate and make purchases through the PTA. Overall, PTA is pretty low on my totem pole. Sorry. In my mind the PTA is for SAHMs. I'm sure that is a broad assumption and I will get flamed, but that's my two cent donation.[/quote] That's completely untrue at my school - about half the board is WOHM, and some WAHM, and some SAHMs. I am a WOHM, and I see that SAHMs have just as much "work" to do that isn't school-related. I think that it is unfair to expect SAH Parents to shoulder burden of providing opportunities/benefits for everyone's kids - especially since SAH parents really don't make up THAT much of the parents in the school. Which is why I volunteer, pay dues, etc. Plus, I just like knowing what's going on.[/quote]
