Here's how you can join the club. By GreatSchools.net Staff If you picture the PTA as just a small crew of moms who meet now and then to plan bake sales, you may be in for a big surprise. The Parent Teacher Association, or PTA , is a huge and very influential nationwide organization with state and local affiliates throughout the country.

M.O.M. Mom on a Mission Melinda Thompson for Portland Family PTA: more than just milk and cookies Did you know that kindergarten classes, mandatory immunizations, hot-lunch programs, child labor laws and the juvenile justice system were all created by the National Parents Teachers Association? For over a century the national PTA has provided information, support and resources to families. Found- ed by two women as the National Congress of Mothers in 1897 in Washington DC, Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst created the foundation on which modern-day PTAs were built. Birney and Hearst’s primary focus was the health and education of children. Amazing that two women would initiate a nationwide movement — at a time when WOMEN DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE! Apparently these women cared more about children than the risk of being ostracized for bucking social mores. Clearly they found the job of advocating for children more important than a vote. They believed it was up to moms to take action to eliminate the threats that endangered children. They held their first meeting in Washington DC, expecting only about 200 people. Over 2,000 people showed up, all of whom were committed to children. Educators, laborers, legislators and parents laid the groundwork for identifying problems and devising strategies to solve them. By the 1920s, PTA was beginning to work with state Legislatures to create reforms in response to PTA initiatives. National PTA introduced member training programs. A PTA in Every School became the national goal in 1922.

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.
