[quote=Anonymous]I'm not active because school already claims so much of my life. They can't have any more of it. I am glad that my child gets to attend this school, but getting her there via public transportation is roughly equivalent to a part time job, and that's not counting the prep, homework time, and wind-down to get her ready to do it all over again the next day.

I know that everyone is busy and I have no idea how the PTA volunteers at our school do it. They are just as busy as I am, I know it. But it seems to invigorate them to be involved as much as it paralyzes me to think that I need to add more "school involvement" to this already endless grind of school days. The time I tried to do my part and contribute something to the bake sale, they ended up selling the items for about a quarter of what the ingredients cost - lesson learned, write a check instead.

Maybe when my child is older and more independently mobile I won't feel like school already owns every waking minute of my day and will finally feel ready to be more active.[/quote]
