How the Parent-Teacher Association Got Started

 The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is commonly considered a white, middle-class
women's association. Its origins date back to as early at 1855, concurrent with the beginning of
the kindergarten movement. The PTA arose from a belief that mothers and teachers working
together could provide powerful support for children's educational lives. There were two
important components of the initial nationalization of this movement. One was that its focus was
maternal, meaning that its purpose was to identify ways to extend mothering into public schools.
This focus kept the PTA from becoming politically controversial because it didn't contradict the
social norm holding that woman's sphere of influence should be restricted to homemaking and
child rearing. While men and even many women weren't in favor of feminist political activism,
the PTA's agenda respected the popular roles assigned to women and thus slipped under the radar
of political controversy. The second component was that the PTA was open to all mothers,
regardless of race. This inclusiveness was really unique for that time when segregation was
pretty much the rule and the races were openly felt to be unequal. In fact, one of the leaders,
Alice McLellan Birney, was pretty outspoken about her belief that whites were superior, yet she
still endorsed the group's tenet of inclusiveness.

For a long time, black women felt that the PTA did not reflect their concerns about education.
They often formed parallel organizations that they felt better reflected their positions regarding
their children's educations. Black parents had a real struggle because most schools in those days
were segregated, and the black educational experience was markedly inferior to the white
educational experience. Black mothers really needed to work to elevate the qualities of the
schools their children were attending, and it wasn't until sometime in the 1920's when the PTA
became truly national that they found the movement worth their while to support.

School administrators initially were very receptive to the PTA and the involvement of mothers
in their children's educations. Gradually, however, a tension developed between the
predominantly male administrators and school board members, and the predominantly female
membership of the PTA as the PTA wanted to get involved in not only the social welfare of the
students, but in the educational content of programs. Beyond considering such issues as whether
hot lunches should be available to their children, women began to want to influence issues such
as when reading should begin and what textbooks should be used. The male administrators
resisted this extension of the PTA's work, viewing it as women meddling in something they
didn't have the right or natural ability to think about. School administrators tried to limit the
focus of the mothers during this era of the PTA.

How the Parent-Teacher Association Got Started

The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is commonly considered a white, middle-class

women's association. Its origins date back to as early at 1855, concurrent with the beginning of
the kindergarten movement. The PTA arose from a belief that mothers and teachers working
together could provide powerful support for children's educational lives. There were two
important components of the initial nationalization of this movement. One was that its focus was
maternal, meaning that its purpose was to identify ways to extend mothering into public schools.
This focus kept the PTA from becoming politically controversial because it didn't contradict the
social norm holding that woman's sphere of influence should be restricted to homemaking and
child rearing. While men and even many women weren't in favor of feminist political activism,
the PTA's agenda respected the popular roles assigned to women and thus slipped under the radar
of political controversy. The second component was that the PTA was open to all mothers,
regardless of race. This inclusiveness was really unique for that time when segregation was
pretty much the rule and the races were openly felt to be unequal. In fact, one of the leaders,
Alice McLellan Birney, was pretty outspoken about her belief that whites were superior, yet she
still endorsed the group's tenet of inclusiveness.

For a long time, black women felt that the PTA did not reflect their concerns about education.
They often formed parallel organizations that they felt better reflected their positions regarding
their children's educations. Black parents had a real struggle because most schools in those days
were segregated, and the black educational experience was markedly inferior to the white
educational experience. Black mothers really needed to work to elevate the qualities of the
schools their children were attending, and it wasn't until sometime in the 1920's when the PTA
became truly national that they found the movement worth their while to support.

School administrators initially were very receptive to the PTA and the involvement of mothers
in their children's educations. Gradually, however, a tension developed between the
predominantly male administrators and school board members, and the predominantly female
membership of the PTA as the PTA wanted to get involved in not only the social welfare of the
students, but in the educational content of programs. Beyond considering such issues as whether
hot lunches should be available to their children, women began to want to influence issues such
as when reading should begin and what textbooks should be used. The male administrators
resisted this extension of the PTA's work, viewing it as women meddling in something they
didn't have the right or natural ability to think about. School administrators tried to limit the
focus of the mothers during this era of the PTA.
