I do not understand why students are taken away from their classroom educational time to spend time running around in circles in their gymnasiums in a fund run to earn money for the PTSA. Such activities should be done after school hours. For the last two years my child’s 5th and 6th grade teachers explained that there was not enough classroom time to provide our students with an elementary education required by the state of Michigan. This is why the middle school teachers have to spend weeks of their classroom time teaching students what they should have already been taught in elementary school. With all the other non-educational time these elementary school teachers spend taking their students to the roller rinks, bowling alleys, movie theaters, field days, and of course recreational pool leisure time to recover from the tiring field day, the last thing these children need is for the PTSA to inhibit their education. Please consider putting our youth’s education first, and hold all PTSA functions after school hours. It’s a shame that our principals would allow such activities, and a shame that our tax dollars are being spent paying these principals and teachers for not performing their job duties, which I suspect should be educating our youth.
