In some PTAs, there can be a lot of cliques. A horror story might be that new parents who want to get involved are excluded. They are made to feel unwelcome because they don't fit into the existing groups within the PTA. These cliques might control all the decision - making processes, leaving other parents with no voice and making it difficult for the PTA to function in a fair and inclusive way.
Once, during a PTA talent show rehearsal, a little girl was supposed to sing a sweet song. But her pet parrot, which she brought along by accident, started squawking along with her in the most off - key way. Instead of being a disaster, it turned into a really funny and unique performance that everyone loved.
Sure. One funny PTA story is about a meeting where the parents were discussing new school uniforms. One parent accidentally wore his pajamas, thinking it was a casual event. Everyone had a good laugh.
Sure. There was a PTA where there was a lot of backstabbing. Members would spread rumors about each other in order to gain more influence or control. For instance, one member started a false rumor that another was embezzling funds just to get them removed from a key position in the PTA. This created a very toxic environment and made it hard for the PTA to focus on its real goals, like improving the school for the kids.
Jessica Chambers was a victim in this story. She was a young woman who unfortunately became the center of a very tragic and mysterious case when she was found burned in a vehicle.
Jessica Lynch was a U.S. soldier. Her story was initially misrepresented by the media. In fact, she was injured in a vehicle accident during the Iraq War. Later, she was captured by Iraqi forces. The real heroism lies in her survival and recovery from the ordeal, rather than the over - hyped 'action - hero' narrative that was initially spread.
