[quote=Anonymous]My view is that the elementary school PTA parents should focus more of their energy/resources/volunteer efforts on the middle schools instead of the schools where their kids attend.  Perhaps even have each elementary PTA form  a "future GW/Hammond parents" committee that is focused on helping impove the middle schools.  The committees can lend support to the Middle School with fundraising, volunteering, tutoring, mentoring, etc.  They can also interface with middle school administrators, so that the middle school leaders can better understand what our concerns/apprehensions are about school quality/safety, and they can better communicate with us about the reality of what it's like in the middle schools.

All the energy/ideas/enthusiasm of new parents is unfortunately wasted on elementary schools--which are already in good shape.  By the time our kids reach middle school, the parents are burnt out and the kids are reaching the age where they don't want their parents around anymore.   So the middle schools don't have as much parental support.[/quote]
