[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP non-paid Kindred parent here,

I’m not sure what the metrics are (not certain  what data was collected before Kindred versus after Kindred type of thing).

If I had one wish for Kindred it would be that it could facilitate a pathway to increase parent engagement in existing PTOs for parents of moderate income , versus the current system at our school. Money and social currency is definitely is a barrier for participation for many parents.

One thing I related to from the article was the first statement Mike made about walking into a pto  meeting and feeling unwelcomed. Not that anyone purposefully ignores or throw shade to a particular parent, [b]but it can feel unwelcoming if one can’t rattle off a list of academic or social credentials just to participate and be treated with basic human kindness.

The only thing people should rattle off is kid’s/kids’ names and grades. You should not mention your resume line items.  :roll:  DC can be a very crappy place sometimes. Such annoying type-A people.[/quote]
