[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our PTA is great. They work extremely hard to raise funds for our school and I can’t think of an instance where I ever felt remotely annoyed by them. They’re not cliquey at all though, so maybe that helps. So sad to hear it’s not like this at all schools. Maybe if you don’t like how your PTA is being run, you could volunteer to be on the board? You know, be the change an all. Or, you can sit behind your keyboard and continue to complain about an organization that is probably funding half the supplies in your child’s classroom. [/quote]

NP but in my experience, the PTA moms that are like this are not the ones that are in low income schools. The parents in low income or diverse schools aren't the snooty ones who choose to live in McLean or Oakton or Burke or whatever other high SES/primarily caucasian families live. Even the high SES schools that have large Asian populations don't have this type of attitude because Asian families don't have the tolerance for this level of bullshit. And before you call me racist, we are an Asian family in one of those majority Asian schools (this is our third ES in the past 14 years, we've seen it all).[/quote]
I agree with you for the most part but I din’t think you’ve experienced cliquish behavior from majority Asian dmv population groups. I’m from a part of California with a lot of Asians who are high performing but normal. I’m Asian myself. The Asians here are a different animal: very tiger mom, hyper competitive, comparing credentials. Very “crabs in a bucket.”[/quote]
