Same. PTA manages money in someone’s personal accounts. Not going to donate to that.

I give $500 per kid so it was $1000 this year. I’m happy to support the PTA because they plan such great activities for the kids and families. My kids used to attend private school so I’m used to donating a lot more.

Most of the money goes to dues. Not supporting Mccpta.

Source? I thought it was about $5 for dues going to various levels of PTA system.


This is correct. It’s actual $4 and change.
Even that's too much because MCCPTA lobbies for things that most parents don't want like bussing and forcing religious kids to read lgbt books.


They do very little in terms of lobbying and advocacy when you look at the overall picture. They also do very little for individual schools and programs. It's not just $4 to them, but state and the National PTA organization. You are better off doing a donation vs. dues so they can keep the entire amount but I prefer to do directly for the school or something specific due to the lack of transparency.
Unfortunately this isn't true. MCCPTA lobbied for bussing and forcing kids to read gay books even when their parents didn't think it appropriate.

Bold statements. Source?

Nothing, I give directly to the teachers, not all because unfortunately not all my kids teachers are spectacular. Some of them suck and they deserve a big nothing.
