National PTA Positions Make Parent Involvement Useless

Well. That was an eye-opener. I always assumed the PTA was strictly a local organization with no interest in national or regional issues. So I continue to learn, at 64.
The money quote is here:
“If the local affiliates continue to follow their National PTA prescriptions, few alternatives remain to parents who wish to be effective. Disaffiliation with the National PTA may be a viable option for parents hoping to increase student academic performance and participate in meaningful ways to benefit students.”
Why would a local PTA follow national prescriptions? As a parent I certainly wouldn’t. I’d seek solutions to local problems only.
