Societies are formed to resist evils that are exclusively of a moral nature, as to diminish the vice of intemperance. In the United States associations are established to promote the public safety, commerce, industry, morality, and religion. . . .The Americans make associations to give entertainment's, to found seminaries, to build ins, to construct churches, to diffuse books, to send missionaries to the antipodes; in the manner they found hospital, prisons, and schools. . . .There is no end which the human will despairs of attaining through the combined power of individuals united into a society. . . .

Extractions: Everett Carll Ladd, The Ladd Report . Free Press, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020. In a celebrated 1995 essay, Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam warned that Americans were far less likely to join groups than in the past. Citing declines in many major organizationslabor unions, the League of Women Voters, PTAs, and bowling leaguesPutnam concluded that Americans had become far less civic-minded, a trend that would inevitably lead to a fractured and balkanized America. Ladd, professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut, disagrees. A great deal of evidence, he contends, shows Americans are now more likely to join associations and aid charities. We are less likely to bowl than in the pastbut more likely to join soccer leagues. Women have shifted their allegiance from the League of Women Voters to less political groups, such as the Soroptimists and local businesswomens associations. And while PTA membership is declining, parents arent abandoning the schools; theyre more likely to create independent, locally controlled parent-teacher organizations (PTOs), which dont have to pay hefty dues to the PTA national headquarters or follow its political lead. Americans are also increasingly donating time to worthy causes. Polls show steady rises in the percentage of Americans who say they volunteer to help others. In 1977, for instance, 26 percent of Americans surveyed said they donated time to help the poor, the sick, and the elderly. By 1995, the percentage had more than doubled to 54 percent. Charitable donations are also rising, from $349 per person in 1970 to $524 in 1996 (measured in constant 1993 dollars).
Extractions: New England Comprehensive Assistance Center Parent Involvement In today's world, it is not always easy for parents, especially single parents, to find time and energy to get involved in their children's education. However, when parents become involved, both children and parents are benefit. Researchers report that parent participation enhances children's self-esteem, improves their academic achievement, improves parent-child relationships, and helps parents develop positive attitudes towards school. Two Types of Involvement One kind of parental involvement is school-based. It centers around school activities such as attending parent-teacher conferences and school functions, volunteering at the school, receiving and responding to written communications from the teacher, and encouraging parents to join Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) or Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs). Many schools try to make it easier for working parents to participate in school-based activities by scheduling conferences and school events at different times of the day. A second type of involvement focuses on parent-child interaction at home. Home-based activities allow parents flexibility in scheduling, provide opportunities for parents and children to spend time together, and offer a relaxed setting. The most beneficial home activities are deceptively simple. Many parents do not realize that when they involve children in day-to-day activities such as a trip to the gas station or grocery store, they can provide opportunities for learning. For example, although watching TV is viewed as noneducational, joint TV viewing can become educational if parents and children discuss what they saw.

Extractions: For some groups the PTO vs. PTA debate is simply a matter of dollars and cents (either "we don't want to send any money out of our school" or "are we getting enough service for the money we send out of our school?"). For others, though, the debate takes on a significantly increased importance. "If we don't speak for all children, then who will?" the PTA's most loyal defenders often ask.
