[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do greatly appreciate the efforts of the people who throw themselves in the PTA at our school - things like teacher aides, bulk supplies, support for teachers, extra things for the classes and teachers. Some of them are really putting their skills to an effective management use. But they go overboard on a lot of things that could be cut and seem like a desire to do things to do things. (ie. if you cut back on some of the unnecessaries, you could cut back on some of the fundraisers -- which become circular). And some are on the bubble to me - like fall festivals that are community building maybe. I prefer to do things like field trips and I am interested in the general school management. [/quote] And it becomes very cliquey! also a circular prospect. They queen bees and drones attract the other similars - with a feeling like it's an extension of the fraternity/sorority systems - reinforcing a sense where some people are the 'in crowd'[/quote]
