[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]anecdotally, all of the room parents from K/1/2 at our school wound up getting their kids into AAP one way or another (some are guests in the local level IV).

we were curious who would step up for the other three classes this year since all prior room parents had kids in the same program-- guess what? those classes found room parents right off the bat, and the AAP class had to put out a special request for someone to be the room parent after no one answered the initial call.

Made me chuckle -- did people get what they want and then stop volunteering? I will note several came forward on the second request.[/quote]

Oh look it's "PTA moms get preferential treatment for AAP" lady. No, they don't, that's not how this works. Step away from the wine, Sarah/Jessica/Katie.

They absolutely did at my ES. I remember distinctly talking to some of the "in" PTA mom types. One conversation specifically blew my mind, where a few of them were ticking of their list as to who they wanted for teachers next year for their kids and they were giving to to [principal's FIRST name] next week. They did. And they got what they asked for. [/quote]

I'm curious about if you ever asked for anything? I'm not a PTA mom, my kid is below average, and I get the teachers for my kid that I ask for because I am vocal about my child's needs. I bet the PTA moms are, too. Are you??[/quote]

Nope. I had one conversation -one- with the principal over placement one year but ultimately deferred to where they put DC. There were things I wanted for DC that the ES did give (like advance math tracking, certain teachers, etc.) but I never asked for them (even though I wanted to).[/quote]

Parents need to advocate for their kids. In my experience, the school does what it can to accommodate requests because it reduces parent complaints and makes their lives easier. [/quote]
