[quote=Anonymous]PP volunteer here.  Seriously though, this whole thread and this article is a huge problem.   Schools SUCCEED when there are involved parents.  It makes or breaks a school. The schools that fail by and large have parents who are NOT involved.  So uninvolved parents want to whine and complain about things they don't like the white affluent parents doing?  I have some advice, take just a few hours out of your year and volunteer, get involved, make your voice heard.  No one is stopping you!  But if your goal is simply to marginalize white affluent parents because you can't stand them, then you are shooting yourself in the foot and hurting all children who benefit from the interest of dedicated parents. By the way, many of the most involved PTA parents and PTA members at our school are NOT white and bust their tails to make things happen for the kids.  And a lot of these parents are my close personal friends.  Quit hating on whitey and get involved!!!   Make your school the best it can be for all students.   PTA members would welcome you with open arms![/quote]
