I’m new to school life but accept most have parent councils. They do a great job. I’m surprised however how much they seem to control. Regular emails come from
them via the school office which I don’t think is appropriate. It’s a constant money grab. It’s of course voluntary but worded to make you feel terrible if you don’t contribute.
Today we got an email telling us of the acceptable use policy for their WA group - I’m astonished they took the time to even think this was necessary. Two pages of rules . The wa group runs well with a few little disagreements but nothing out of the usual. We’ve now been told that questions should only be answered by PC members and no general chat. Completely ignoring the fact that in the last week alone two of the PC gave wrong info!!! But under these rules we’ve to let it be!!
Are all PC’s this rigid ? I feel they suck the fun right out of what was a good idea. The chat is not formally ran by the school so no idea why the school agreed to send the message with the rules.
