Get away from your computer Go see a Play A Rare Breed PTO leaders are breaking down gender roles By Robert Lovinger, Standard-Times staff writer It's no big deal. At least, that's what Jack Leandro and George Sine want you to believe. The two recently took over as co-presidents of the Cushman School Parent-Teacher Organization in Dartmouth. They claim the PTO is so well-run, they've hardly had to lift a finger. They insist it's the women who came before them who deserve the credit. Anyway, they argue, the focus shouldn't be on the fact that they're men. "We're just two fathers who love to be involved with their kids," Mr. Leandro says. Sorry, boys. You're news to us. First, it's pretty rare for a dad to head a PTO or PTA. Cushman Principal Victor Ladetto says this is the first time it's happened in the 39 years he's worked in the Dartmouth schools. Second, it's unusual at all for men to be visible in such groups. Some local PTOs rarely see fathers at their meetings. The head of the Massachusetts PTA estimates 80 percent of active school parents are moms. But it appears fatherly involvement in schools is slowly increasing. The new Cushman PTO leadership is not only evidence of that, but may be accelerating it.

Main Search MAIN MENU NEWS LIST! ... Public Relations School Committees "Viewers of the great 1973 movie The Sting , which introduced the concept of the Big Con, will recall that the secret of this ultimate confidence game is that the mark must never come to know that he was played. He must continue to believe the game was the real thing." John Podhoretz Have you been on your school's "Math Committee"? Or the "Character Committee"? Or the "Literature Enrichment Committee"? At best, many "consensus" committees whittle away personal goals in favor of lukewarm conclusions that make no one happy. Emerson said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." One is also reminded of Margaret Thatcher's quote, To me consensus seems to be: the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner "I stand for consensus"? But many school and business committees are not really intended to even meet that goal.

However, when parents become involved, both children and parents are benefit. Researchers report that parent participation enhances children's self-esteem, improves their academic achievement, improves parent-child relationships, and helps parents develop positive attitudes towards school. Two Types of Involvement One kind of parental involvement is school-based. It centers around school activities such as attending parent-teacher conferences and school functions, volunteering at the school, receiving and responding to written communications from the teacher, and encouraging parents to join Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) or Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs). Many schools try to make it easier for working parents to participate in school-based activities by scheduling conferences and school events at different times of the day.

When cleaning tiles, particularly very shiny ones, I often found bits of lint would stick to the floor or wall in the bathroom. I would try to wipe it off with the cloth and end up getting more lint or just moving it around. Wait until the surface is dry and then simply brush over it with a banister brush.

EPI's Education Quick Facts California on Front Lines Concerning Charter School Bargaining New legislation approved in October by Governor Gray Davis threatens the way charter schools have been conducting business in California. After their legislative proposal to require collective bargaining in charter schools failed, California teacher unions successfully lobbied for Assembly Bill 631, a compromise almost as egregious. A.B. 631 affects new and existing charter schools. Before new applications to operate as a charter school will be approved, the charter board must decide whether 1) to be an independent public employer, or 2) to be subject to the district's collective bargaining negotiations with the incumbent employee unions. With well over 250,000 members, the teacher union likely to capture the most additional members will be the California Teachers Association the NEA affiliate.

38. PTA Forum With Charlene Haar -- It's Not The Parents Talking expose academic deficiencies, ptas sponsor events California, Connecticut, Michigan, massachusetts, Oregon, and parentteacher organizations (ptos) and parent http://www.educationpolicy.org/files/pta/orgtrend.htm

PTA - It's Not "Parents Taking Action" Organizational Trends, Capitol Research Center by Charlene K. Haar Despite much lip service to the contrary, teachers and teacher unions frequently view citizen/parent participation in school affairs as a threat to their benefits and their prerogatives. Although the importance of teacher/parent cooperation is obvious, parent/teacher relations are actually characterized by inherent conflicts of interest. For instance, parents want teachers to be available to meet with parents after school or on Saturdays or weekends. Clearly, such availability is not in the interests of teachers. They prefer to be duty free as much as possible; typically, they view availability to parents before or after the regular school day as an extra duty which calls for additional compensation. In saying this, I impute to teachers only the same degree of self interest that characterizes most workers. At some point, however, we must distinguish employer from employee rights; understandably, teachers, like employees generally, draw the line more in their favor than their employers would. Of course, parents are not the legal employers of public school teachers. Nevertheless, teacher employment responsibilities are important to parents in ways that go far beyond the ordinary citizen's stake in public education. A critical point is that these ways involve conflicts of interest that are typically resolved in collective bargaining between teacher unions and school boards. For example:
