[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457649, member: 11791"] The key is in how you present it. DON'T take on the leadership role. Take on a mother-hen role. Pull the group together... but then, let the political ones take over. Some of these kids have parents who are doctors, engineers, and such... often, this parent isn't so involved in the day-to-day issues at school... but when (if) you get a group of THOSE together and get a fire lit... THEY will take over the process for you. A handful will have access to $$ to help with the fight - might not show up much, but the $$ helps too. If your job is to keep the group working together, you often end up with the lighter job (in terms of work). Help be the glue that holds it all together, and others can carry the load. If you can just get the ball rolling... it often ends up with a life of its own. I haven't managed to do that here... can't reach the other parents, because they don't even know about the problems their kids have! [/QUOTE]
