PTA meeting
Parents visit school
A PTA meeting is a gathering of a school's parent-teacher association, where parents and educators discuss school policies, student activities, and fundraising.
These meetings are often invoked as symbols of suburban domesticity or parental involvement: I can't make it tonight—I have a PTA meeting.
The phrase sometimes carries connotations of mundane civic obligation or helicopter parenting.
