[quote=Anonymous]It is just so crazy to me that people think other parents OWE it to the school to participate in PTA -- just b/c we send our children there. I'll assume for the moment that PTA is doing something for my child's benefit... and I still say that I don't owe you PTA-parents anything. Yes, it is nice that anyone chooses to give their time/money/effort to the school (in fact, I do help out). But, I'm at a PUBLIC school. I have a right to send my kid there without any strings attached. I help out b/c of my own choice to be civic-minded, not because I owe you or the school anything. My only obligation to the school is to make sure my child arrives at school ready to learn each day. I know private schools have a different attitude when it comes to parent involvement. So maybe we're talking about different systems of parent/teacher associations. But, at a public school, I am free to send my kid to school without also joining a club I don't particularly like.
