The National PTA states this as the mission of the PTA:

The Mission of the PTA
To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
To assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children;
To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.

If we are raising questions and concerns about the school, then our PTA's pat response of "we love this school, teachers and administrators" negates what the PTA is supposed to stand for. PTA is supposed to advocate for all children and parents, and if there is a school issue, PTA can help resolve it.
