13. PTO Vs. PTA | PTO Today kentucky, echoing the most common objection to PTA membership. But, no matter what the numbers, ptos and ptas are more alike than they are different http://www.ptotoday.com/0800ptopta2.html

PTO Today Magazine Article Archives PTO vs. PTA The national PTA’s position as presumed leader of the parent group world is no longer a given. More than 75 percent of U.S. groups are now PTOs. By Tim Sullivan 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 aren’t part of the PTA are in some way choosing to abandon the cause of children. It’s 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 don’t 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 don’t speak for all children, then who will?” the PTA’s most loyal defenders often ask.

ENQUIRER POST WCPO CIN WEEKLY ... Customer Service Currently: Partly Cloudy Weather Traffic HOME NEWS ... Newsroom Directory Saturday, February 21, 2004 PTOs court new members: dads By Karen Gutierrez The Cincinnati Enquirer Joe Berk helps Dylan Yelton (left) and his son, A.J., with their daily language review booklet in the second-grade class at Hinsdale Elementary School in Edgewood. Berk often visits his son's class to help students and to work on other school projects. The Cincinnati Enquirer/PATRICK REDDY ALEXANDRIA - Carey Heuer gets teased sometimes. After all, he's a man on the Parent Teacher Organization. Instead of Sports Illustrated , he reads PTO Today Heuer's fellow board members are all women. When they talk about diets, he chimes in. When meetings close with "Thank you, ladies," he cheerfully quibbles. And when the PTO sponsors an event at Alexandria Elementary School, Heuer is always there, taking notes on what to do better next time. "I felt my dad and mom didn't make me do my best job growing up," says Heuer, who has two daughters at Alexandria. "I want to make sure I don't miss that opportunity, to help my kids and the school." To educators, Heuer represents a new and welcome sight at the schoolhouse: dads whose involvement extends beyond coaching sports or setting up booths at festivals.
