It is a PTA that raises six figures every year.

It is a high level of political influence so downtown and the mayor treats them well.

We are at an EotP ES and my dc has plenty of peers above grade level.

Yay for you. In 5th grade?

BS.no parcc scores show “plenty”’of kids at or above grade level.
I’m a parent at an EoTP school and much like all my UMC peers, we are bailing by 2nd grade. A solid cohort of peers is critical after third grade . We don’t want our daughter “helping
Other slow kids in class and the. Being told it’s good for our kid becasluae they are in unable to offer advanced stuff

-multiple assemblies
-teachers paid to run after school enrichments
-teachers paid to attend any PD they want (flight, hotel, conference fee, per diem)
-teacher MacBooks

New EOTP Title 1:
-old laptops missing half their keys, one cart for two classes to share
-no tablets. Did Donors Choose for $50 kindle Fires
-no supply money at start of year besides WTU $200. Later $150 from budget. Restrictions on where we can buy.
-needed staff laptop, was given an old student laptop
-one paid bus trip per year (doesn't include any other costs)
-no aides above K
-no paid assemblies
-few enrichments, all teacher volunteer
-no PD budget, must pay my own way

This is wayyyy exaggerated.

Which part. Because I would love to know what part of my experience is exaggerated.

This does not describe my WOTP ES

It is not fantasy.

Then name the school! Why not? You aren’t outing a person, you’re making a claim of fact.

There are plenty of parents on here that could identify their school by name as having or not having any of the things listed. The fact that they aren't means they know it's true and won't admit to it.

OK: Not Murch or Deal.

So which school is it, PP?

Not Eaton or Mann....


Again, that person’s list above was a “best of” compilation. WOTP schools (and likely many others) tend to have 1 or 2 of the special resources from that list. No school has anything near all of that.

If you don't know the school how do you know none of them have it all? Those are the only two schools I've been at so I can't say what other schools have or don't have. You can't say my experience isn't true because it's not your experience.

dp: We’ve been at a couple of different schools that are among the most active and well-resourced PTAs. That full list of great things is not possible. Besides, just read dcum for a while and you will a lot of random details about a lot of schools.

What's not possible?
