School Websites and their Information
As I have often said (and found), when you starting looking for one thing, you often find another. I wanted to see what might be being said at different middle schools about overcrowding. I found various things but it was what I found being said about other issues that was interesting. One thing I notice is that many middle schools seem to assume in their newsletters/updates that all parents know everyone who works in the school/PTA. I was the editor for the Eckstein PTA newsletter and I quickly realized that making assumptions about what parents do and do not know is a bad idea. One, because it isn't true that everyone is up-to-speed on how things work for any given program/activity at school. Two, it can lead to shutting people out because they feel dumb/frustrated for asking questions.
