Teacher Interview... For a certain group of parents.

Have you been to a PTA meeting? Do you know what PTA is and does at Excel Academy? No. Yes. The PTA sponsors events, fundraisers, etc. to support the work of Excel Academy.

Shirley Igo, the National PTA president claims, "Now more than ever, PTA has be an organization that, not only welcomes, but also embraces diversity." Do you feel this is true of the PTA at Excel Academy? I don't know, but my sense is that the more class privileged parents are active in PTA.

What would you like to see in the PTA at Excel Academy? I'd like the PTA to sponsor "Being an Excel-lent parent," events that builds parents capacity to assist their children in high academic achievement.
