Parents are peeved at the new pick up policy for their children at Bear Branch Elementary in Magnolia, Texas. Even if one’s home is directly across the street from the school, the school mandates that the parent must get into the car and get in line with the hundreds of other vehicles, no walk up kid pick up allowed.
Under the banner of safety for children, the school neglected to think about the lunacy found in the unintended consequences of their noble idea. Only by bus or car, can a parent send and retrieve their children, no longer can a child hold a parent’s hand to walk four doors down to and from school.
The inconvenience is also found in the hour long lines of cars to pick up the students. One parent told KPRC 2 News that parents begin to line up at 2:30 for a 3:25 dismissal time.
Unintended consequences are found on the following page.
Wait what?
And their Principal should be fired – IMMEDIATELY!
As with most issues there days, walk across the street talented kids hand walk him home , have your lawyer ready, sue hell out of them! The way of 21st century living!
What is her reasoning?
– Yep. Under Communism, you do not have parental control of your children – the state does. Also, communism takes your children to other areas of the state for special training – you do not have a choice in this – this is the state’s child not yours. That is the message being sent by this principal – the state has control of your child – not you. This story is at least a month old – some sort of resolution should have been reached by now – I hope the story ends with the Principal getting fired with no possibility of working around children again in this lifetime.
Crzy, Stupid and unlawful idiots
What is she afraid of that the parents might see or hear if they get close by walking? Investigate her.
Well, I’m glad I don’t have children of my own…
