Parent-Teacher Organization

The one that I am familiar with is Parents Teachers Organization.

It should be supported because both parents and teachers usually have the same goals which is that every child should achieve to the best of their ability. Working together parents and teachers can reach this goal.

PTO is where people volunteer in a school. They form a staff and help make the school a better place. You should defidently support it if you’re a mom or dad. But if you’re a student, leave it to the parents.

PTO=power take off (part of farming equipment and other powered equipment)

there are others I am sure but out of context it is difficult to give a complete answer
