If you're a parent group leader, you're bound to love it, too. Golden parachutes? Hardly! Parent group leaders get big tarps donated, paint them yellow (extra paint from the teacher room remodel) and use them for the parachute game at the fair. Needing bailouts? Nope -- parent group leaders are the bailer-outers.
The quibble -- wouldn't pick Sarah Palin. Despite all the attention she received for her PTAhood, I don't believe she was a PTA officer. We need someone who has faced the fear of having 300 families heading to a spaghetti supper, losing access to the school's ovens at the last minute, and having to talk the local restaurant into giving up an oven during the dinner hour. That's the pit bull we need.
Who would you nominate?
