PTA te refieres Daniel? eso en Argentina no tengo la
menor idea mi hijo va a una escuela de su pais en la
Argentina. School Board Superintendency creo que seria
el Ministerio de Educacion, realmente no se como se
manejan en Argentina. 

Pero si se denuncia si la justicia internviene sean
escuelas o sean negocios, la ley se aplica, la estan
comenzando a aplicar en la Argentina.

Vos vivis en USA no Daniel? alla las leyes de etica,
moral y derechos se aplican.
:-)
Creci en ese sistema y me eduque alli
