[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is only an issue if there is NO parental involvement by any of the parents. Every class needs a few mover and shaker parents who have the energy to make some changes.

I personally am very introverted and am not good at organizing things. I suppose some would consider me to not be very engaged. I support the fundraisers, chat with the teachers every morning, and greet all of my kid's classmates by name. And I work like crazy to make sure that my kid is an asset to the class - manners, behavior, keeping up with the weekly lessons etc. I'm sure that's not enough for some, but that is just too bad.

I read here on a thread once that some families view their kid's time out of school as time for family and church, period, so they just don't want to get involved with a bunch of stuff at school. That's okay with me, too.[/quote]

OP Here - I think you are a GREAT example of what a parent's involvement in a school should be!  I'm not saying that everyone should be (or can be) a SUPER PTA parent.  My point is that people should embrace the school that they do end up attending - even if your plan is to only attend one year - embrace the school and help the school be the best that it can be!  It really upsets me when a family just takes a spot because they didn't get anything else and then they just complain about it.[/quote]
