[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s mind boggling some think people volunteering for their kids school do it for some nefarious reason, like stealing $100 at the bake sale.

I suspect it’s just the OP sock puppet posting.

If you really are this type of person, I kindly ask you to refrain from getting involved in your schools PTA, save the toxic attitude for your friends and family.

Shocking how the crazy moms badmouth the room parent or other PTA parents with no evidence. Just disgusting gossip and speculation. [/quote]

Lots if documented evidence. Factual and even arrests. Shocking is stupidity of people who ignore reality. [/quote]

If someone would bring this up without solid evidence to back it up, 100% I would stop talking to that person. To insinuate people are stealing is so low class and pathetic.[/quote]

Then stop. Rules exist for a reason, to prevent theft. Safeguarding parents contributions is being respectful of oarents. Not following rules shows parents their contributions are not valued. [/quote]

You are focused on theft from PTAs to an unhealthy degree. I think your issues are elsewhere. Do you feel left out from your current organization, don’t get along with the leadership, disagree with how things are run? All are valid reasons for discontent, but to jump to accusations of theft is a step too far. You can also argue that the way things are run is a reflection of general membership voting. Step up, throw your hat in the ring and work to change things in the right way, not gossiping behind people’s back.

From my experience you’d probably not be very good at leading a PTA. It’s not about who’s wright or wrong, leadership is about motivating people to work towards a common goal. Given that PTAs are volunteer run, you need a lot of good will and trust, both of which you seem to lack.[/quote]

No, I have been very involved with one of ours for several years.  I have also left ones not well run and very shady.   I have seen lots of shady stuff.   Ours has been very well run with very little money as we got very creative.

Let me guess.  You just like to throw stones or someone that insists on running the pta and does little.  Or very questionable things and those of us who run it properly you try to run out to hide what you are doing.  [/quote]

Yeah, you have the social skills of a toddler throwing tantrums.

No, I want the money to go to the school, students and teachers instead of lining your pocket.  If you are so defensive about accountability and/or think its ok to put PTA money in your personal account, then its a huge red flag.[/quote]
