Review of My PTA Meeting

Nothing important ever gets done

By: Marie Ronnander

As a proud momma bear of two at Young Learner's Elementary, I feel as though I have a right to be heard—possibly even more so than a snooty single-child parent. However, at the recent Parent-Teacher Association meeting held on Thursday night, I was slighted, to say the least.

TJ and AJ may only be kindergarteners, but the elementary environment is highly crucial to their future careers. Where are the congressmen's interviews? Why do my children not understand why we should tax the rich? How will my babies get into the Ivy League when they aren't even being taught cursive? To each critical question, I was met with blank stares. 

Instead, we munched cheese cubes while Kelly talked about banning carbs for the upcoming bake sale. If I hear "Keto is the Key-to living" one more time, I am going to pour sugar straight into that woman's coffee. Secondly, I believe we should be doing a Kidz Bop concert: PG and catchy, the perfect combo for our kiddos.

Oh! And the president! This man cannot lead a meeting for his life. He fully stood in front of the room telling "your mom" jokes and was met with a singularly uncomfortable cough. He then proceeded to use a PowerPoint to address bullying, with my favorite slide being "why kids shouldn't kick other kids." I am disappointed, to say the very least, and will be working hard to reform this lax PTA board.
