I have "pet-peves", just like everyone else. One of mine is when someone tells me what I can/can't do with my children. The school has for the last few years had a rule that they will not dismiss any child after a certain time. Normally this time is about 20-30 minutes before school lets out. I see the point in this. It is so parents won't always come in and check out their children simply because they don't want to wait. I agree with this. However, I also believe in making appointments after the school day has ended. So when a parent needs to take their child to an appointment and the appointment time is close to the end of the school day they need to get that chid out just a few mintues early. This has happened to us recently for the first time in five years of being with this current school. We just needed to get the kids out a few minutes to make it to a 3:15 appointment. The principal made the mistake of telling Jay that he couldn't get his son at that time. Needless to say, he got him anyways.
Then today. Out of nowhere they start telling parents that we can no longer walk our children to their classrooms. And again I see the point in this. It builds independence for the children and so on. But again, who are you to tell me that I can't do something with my own child?!!? This really pisses me off! I would be happy to be able not to have to drag Chase and Allie into the school every morning to walk Landon to his classroom but if he needs me to do that so that he will have a good day then that is my right as a mom!
