[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a really good article about how UMC parents moving into low income schools aren't always good for the low income families. These issues are all present already in the higher FARMS schools with a small group of UMC parents, in fact a local Silver Spring school was identified in the article. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/07/how-marginalized-families-are-pushed-out-of-ptas/491036/ [/quote] PTA should not be the only way that parents are being engaged in the school. It is shameful that the schools do not create such opportunities for parenst to volunteer and help out in the schools and depend on the PTA to do everything. [/quote] Anyone can volunteer in their child's classroom and on field trips. It has nothing to do with the PTA. PTA volunteers are for things like book fair, Variety Shows, picnics/carnivals etc.[/quote]
