Holly Ray, principal of Bear Branch Elementary in Magnolia Texas has new rules this year and they are making parents and teachers furious!
Already well known to be an overbearing gestapo, Holly Ray removed the bike rack, and made the new rule at the beginning of the school year and reinforced it in March.
Only way you can get to and from school is in a car or bus! Parents stay in your car! Holly Ray demands!

Doesn’t matter. She’s a dummy.
A friend just told me today that he pulled his daughter out of public schools. The transgender and lesbian all sex all the time was really messing with her head.
The kids can still walk home. They just go after the kids are picked up in cars.
The kuds can still walk home. They just get dismissed after the kids are picked up in cars.
When everyone was dismissed at the same time, parents were parking in the neighborhood and then walking to get the juds. This was causing traffic problems, and was probably dangerous for the walkers.
Now, the car pick up line goes first and the walkers go after them.
I saw this story on the news this morning, but the piece was very short on details, so thank you for your explanation! It makes better sense to me now that I know the scoop. The problem with parents parking on crowded neighborhood streets and then walking their kids to the building is common in the two elementary schools where I work, also. It further congests the streets at the busiest times of day and isn’t fair to the homeowners (and frustrates service providers like myself) who can never get parking spots when they need them, but know that by the time they trek in from the boonies, half the parents will have vacated the spots they used briefly.
One of my campuses is in such a crowded residential neighborhood that the principal put out a directive to all faculty and staff a couple of years ago that, on one of the (narrow) side streets, we could only park on one side so as not to make traffic any worse. There were not any restrictions for the parents as in this article, of course, but I sure can understand the idea behind them (just not the threats of arrest, lol). There’s no telling what kind of complaints this school has had from the residents of the neighborhood, and this principal might be under pressure to figure something out. (She needs to go back to the drawing board, though!!)
I don’t understand the threats of arrests either. I have seen some awful parents in pick up lines. I went from being totally against the principal to being more sympathetic to her delima.
Public schools are indoctrination centers.
I guess parents were parking in the neighborhood and then walking to get their kids and it was causing problems with traffic in the neighborhood.And having the parents queue their cars in line, from an hour before to half an hour after dismissal, to pick up the kids one at a time, won't cause any such problems
I don’t think that either of us can answer that question unless we actually attended the school.
I’m just saying that the initial media reports are not correct and kids can walk home.
I don’t have enough information to know who is right or wrong in this situation.
