[quote=Anonymous]The PTA needs to show accountability. For parents AND teachers. Some principals allow teachers to never get involved or ask to go to one event. There needs to be a point based system to spread the wealth and show involvement.

1 point equals 1 hour.

Each family should be asked to achieve 5 points and then posts lists and sign-ups online.

The only time parents get involved for the most part if kids and teachers are involved OR if their accountability is broadcasted. EVERYONE has 5 hours to spare to help their school in some capacity. Even if it means counting box tops at home once a month for an hour. Some schools earn 5 figures with box tops while some earn $0.

I started off strong, but like others, it is emotionally draining to hear how busy everyone is too. And you are stuck doing so much work. Like somehow the PTA parents that are involved, aren’t busy. It is so demeaning and that is why thevhelp drops quickly.

Keep the events fun and simple. SHOW who is helping. SHOW who is donating. SHOW where the money is going towards. Involve the teachers. Give classroom donations to teachers that achieve their 5 points. Have one person involved that just makes sure everyone feels grateful - hospitality. Boost morale. Keep events simple and stop the endless fundraising plugs.  [/quote]
