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.
Fire the Principal and any one else supporting this B.S. !!!!!!
Good
Who would listen to this? Stop being cowards,they are our children.
To bad damned bad ..
Parents stAnd firm
seems like all the idiots are crawling out of the woodwork..first off the school has no rights whatsoever in telling parents that they can’t walk their kids home the street doesn’t belong to them secondly the petflies would have a field day..nothing like throwing our kids to the wolves..
Need to fire them all start all over.
Ridiculous. Since when does school “authority” extend beyond school property? It doesn”t. If I chose to pick up my kid and dance a damn jig it would be MY business. Some arrogant$#%&!@*needs to be woken up with a slap in the face dose of reality and realize that they do NOT control the lives of others after school hours. The problem is electing people who think that they are a big fish in a little bowl. Apparently they “ve forgotten what it means to be out of the water altogether.
Who the hell do these people think they are? They need to be sued personally for this mess…of course parents can pick up their children and walk them home..
SHUT THE SCHOOL DOWN OR GET A NEW SCHOOL BOARD……
