[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is usually planned by the PTA. WHY DIDNT YOU JOIN THE PTA AND PLAN SOMETHING?[/quote]

I am a dad and I work[/quote]

Excuse me? You think that having a job and a Y chromosome excuses you from school involvement? And then you have the unmitigated gall to come on here and yell your head off that your kid wasn't adequately feted by the school???

My kids' elementary, middle and high school PTAs all had/have fathers and mothers who worked. In fact, two out of the three had WORKING FATHERS as PTA Presidents!

Don't you dare complain if you were not involved. What a poor excuse for a parent you are. All entitlement and no community engagement. I hope your kids don't take after you.

Different poster, but also a working dad:

- screw your misandrist views, PP.  seriously.

First you rudely tell the OP to join the PTA.  When he explained, you rudely attached him AGAIN (probably because you hate all men).

And for your information, my wife tried to get involved in our PTA; know when they scheduled PTA meetings?  10:30AM.

Fine. She took annual leave for one, and guess who showed up:  100% stay-at-home-mommies.  Not a single person there had a paid job.  Not one man was there.

Go back to your Feminism 101 class, and take your unrealistic expectations with you. [/quote]
Were the 10:30 am PTA meetings at Glasgow? If they were at a different school, your wife’s experience is irrelevant.

OP didn’t say he was a working dad; he listed being a dad AND working as reasons he couldn’t join the PTA. Being a dad doesn’t preclude him from membership or involvement. Being employed doesn’t preclude most people. Most PTAs are made up of working parents — which is most parents. [/quote]

Glasgow pta meetings are in the evenings.[/quote]
