This seems like an invented problem, invented by someone with too much time on their hands.
I am all in favor of parental involvement in the schools, and with their kids education. These particular parents are doing something right, if their kids are doing well in school and not getting into trouble.
Agree invented problem - invented by the schools and PTA who aren’t getting their $ donations.
I spend a lot of time going over homework with my kids - especially social studies and science where I continually find issues with the texts. I discuss these with them and make sure that they understand the difference between truth and getting a good grade. A’s and Bs only on the report cards every time, voracious readers, and willing to ask questions. What more could I ask.
I do not nor will I likely ever be a PTA/PTOer. I do go to school board meetings and ask questions periodically - which pisses em off.
See it isn’t about participation, it’s about patronization. They think it is their school - not mine and my neighbors. They think they get to call the shots with my kids. They’re wrong, I’m right. I refuse to play by their rules.
