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.
You DO NOT tell me I can’t walk my kids to or from school. Idiots
What in the hell BS is this? I always picked up my children! They didn’t go to public schools though.
says who ?
it’s a systematic breakdown of Parental Control …. THE STATE WANTS THAT CONTROL … LITERALLY “ONE STEP” AT A TIME !! (see what I did there ?)
What is this Communist China? These are our kids!
I see lawsuits on the horizen
This is apparently about control, certainly not common sense. Unusual for a district in Texas not to have common sense. Raise cane with the school board which you elected and something will get done.
not of the school’s business to decide that option.
Crazy
I’d pull my kids
It’s all about theTOberal gov wanting
