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.
This is sad.
This is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard of and the schools that are advocating this should be shut down. How dare they tell parents not to be parents and not to walk their kids to and from school to keep them safe. The DOE is another criminal agency that is out of control and needs to be restructured with a lot stiffer regulations in place for the type of people hired in our USA schools and on the school boards… If not then shut the agency down completely, they are not protecting our kids nor are they teaching actual school activities as in regular school programming and sticking to the basics as in real history, science, math, reading, spelling, english, for starters.. But more like trying to take the place of parents instead.. A lot of what is acceptable teachings in our schools now is obscene and should be left up to the parents when to teach them instead of the schools..
NO ONE has the right to stop you from walking YOUR child to school.
Principal needs to be fired.
They should have no say once a kid is off school grounds
OK parents, are you going to let this school get by with these crazy rules.
Where are these communist schools located? Within the United States? Unbelievable!
Un-elect the school board. Hold them accountable. Get some guts America!
parents stand for your rights and your freedoms!
Say what, that is hard to believe.
