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.
their must be something they are hiding at that school those are your kids and i would not let my children be in a school that would not let me be their whenever i felt it necessary, home school what are they hiding???
Simple solution…pull your kids out of the public schools….put together a network of homeschool parent groups….this reduces the schools revenue, reduces class sizes….and shows the power of parents. They are not in charge of bringing up your kids….you are. Do not be bullied…because you are not a victim…you are a parent. What do they have to hide in their schools any way. What are they doing in there that they don’t want you to know about? Why are earth would a school disallow a parent on the school grounds? Something is fishy here.
Here in Tucson if your child lives less than 1.5 miles from the school they have to walk so this wouldn’t fly.
Fire the principal and defund the school.
What happened to the common sense.
The school principal is a$#%&!@* She has an overblown sense of her own importance.
School districts have tooooooo much power. They have no right to tell parents how there children will arrive and go home from school. School districts do not own the parents children although they would like to have total control over them to create a generation of clones whos minds are filled with liberal trash. If you want your children to have your values and traditions then public school is no place for them. Todays schools are nothing more than brainwashing factories.
That sounds like the sort of conclusion a failing 4th grader might make. Homeschooled kids actually fare better, education wise (and socially) than public school educated kids.
He doesn’t care if the kids get excerise
That is a very stupid policy they ought to be ashamed of themselves that could be putting kids at risk!!!
