to be angry with the chairperson of the PTA

[tully67]

at a school disco my son was playing with another boy on the dance floor. Play fighting but not in such a way to annoy any other children. She wen up to them, put her hands on both my son's shoulders and told him to stop it. She said nothing to the other boy. There were older boys running around (it was the Y1-3 disco) from Y6 and Y7 including her son and nothing was said to them. I was standing in the hall at the time alone watching him. I was so mad I left (there was only 10 mins left!!). I didn't say anything to her at the time because I was too cross. I will not see her at the school and was thinking of writing to her as Chair of the PTA or speaking to the Head teacher.

I told a few girls to put their shoes on, the mums weren't happy with that "they're only having fun" and to the girls "you need your shoes on I know you're having fun, that lady said you cant" yes I'm out to spoil your kids time, nothing to do with the fact that a small child broke their nose 2 days previously running in the hall in their socks, and there are near 100 children to supervise!!

I have been a committee member of the PTA for 11yrs being the treasurer and having 3 kids going through the school.
When i requested a days leave for the children to attend a family event, I was declined, just like everyone else would have been. And rightly so.
No special treatment here.
Just hard work and commitment to helping the kids enjoy their time at school.

Boo arabella and highway stop being so reasonable - much more fun surely to build up PTA members as evil power tripping ex "career" women uber mothers intent on advantaging their own children at any cost up to and including remonstrating gently with other people's children when they are being a pain.
