[quote=Anonymous]I volunteered a lot, I donated a lot, and I was a PTA board member for years. My kids were model students. High achieving, well behaved, well prepared, no drama, rule followers. I did not need any special favors from the school and my kids academic records did not need propping from me or the teachers. The reason I was involved in the school was that I could bring academic enrichment and EC opportunities to the school by being in PTA. The administration could not stop me. PTA gave me a platform and a seat on the table and I could do a lot for the school, so that my kid also benefited in that environment. Which also meant that I busted my butt for the school without pay - because what would they do? Fire me from the volunteer position? So, I basically made the school a safe, educational, happy place for ALL students. My kids only saw that part of the school-life and their K-12 journey remained fruitful and joyful. [/quote]
