Extractions: Public Relations Not All Parents Are Fools by Chester E. Finn, Jr. Excerpt: "...Like so many other once-useful organizations (the League of Women Voters comes to mind, along with the American Civil Liberties Union), [the PTA has] been politicized, ideologized, bureaucratized and, at least in the PTA's case, has become part of the public-education establishment, more interested in propping up institutional claims and employee interests than advancing the interests of parents and kids. 'All T and no P' is how I've come to describe the National PTA and its state affiliates. ... I can't name a single policy issue of consequence at the state or national level where the PTA's testimony doesn't mirror that of the NEA and/or AFT. Taking the Parent out of the National PTA by George A. Clowes, School Reform News, February 2003. Excerpt: "Charlene K. Haar made what she thought was a routine request to the National PTA, the reaction she received was so surprising it piqued the former public school teacher's curiosity to learn more about the century-old Parent-Teacher Association. Instead of a parent organization dedicated to the enhancement of the nation's schools, Haar discovered a group dominated by teacher unions and little attuned to the interests of parents and their children."
PTO Vs. PTA | PTO Today Back in the 1960s we had over 100000 members, recalled massachusetts PTA But, no matter what the numbers, ptos and ptas are more alike than they are http://www.ptotoday.com/0800ptopta2.html
Extractions: It was perhaps the loudest reaction on the first day of the 2000 national PTA convention in Chicago. Illinois Superintendent of Schools Dr. Glenn McGee remembered a day earlier in his career when he made the mistake of referring to parent groups as PTOs. Almost on cue, the crowd of 1,500 or so PTAers roared their disapproval. Loud boos echoed through the cavernous meeting hall. He may as well have said that he hated the Cubs, the White Sox, the Bulls, and the Bears. Why the strong emotions? Are PTOs hurting kids or doing something wrong? While no PTA defenders go that far, there is a subtle but undeniable implication in PTA circles that those independent groups that arent part of the PTA are in some way choosing to abandon the cause of children. Its a debate that has smoldered quietly for decades but that seems to be burning with renewed vigor in recent years. Now more than ever, the national PTA is at a crossroads, and the debate over its future and the direction taken by thousands of individual school parent groups has heated up. For some groups, the PTO vs. PTA debate is simply a matter of dollars and cents (either we dont want to send any money out of our school or are we getting enough service for the money we send out of our school?). For others, though, the debate takes on a significantly increased importance. If we dont speak for all children, then who will? the PTAs most loyal defenders often ask.
