[b]Feeding hungry children is NOT the mission of the PTA. [/b]If there are starving children, then it should be both their parents' responsibility. If they can't do it, then it should be the government's or a humanitarian organization's responsibility. The PTA is supposed to fund programs that enrich the education of ALL children. The teacher appreciation luncheons are only a small portion of the PTA's budget since most of a PTA's budget should go to support all children. Feeding hungry kids, while of course noble, is cherry picking, which the PTA frowns upon.[/quote]

Oh, I don't know.

[b]"The overall purpose of PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children."[/b]

Oh give me an F'ing break on feeding the poor kids.  They already get free breakfast, free lunch and free backpacks of free food for the weekends.  Can their parents not pick up the slack for the 7 meals of dinner.  Does the government and PTA have to feed these kids 100% while their parents are at the nail salon and getting their new iPhones and sneakers?  When did parents not become accountable to feed their kids?  If you enable them, they will never manage their money or take care of their kids.  [/quote]
