Everyone is buzzed in at the door. The purpose of the buzzing in is not for identification - it’s to stop direct and unhindered access to the rest of the school - and - to alert the office that someone is coming inside.
It’s at the office that a person will be checked to see - according to the legal documents, whether they are to have access or not. That cannot be done at the door.
In my case, the mother is “recognizable” at the school by several of the personnel there, but she cannot gain access without me. Now, even though she’s recognizable - it’s ONLY the office which has those documents to verify that. All the school personnel are not in the position to know that.
Ahh, it makes sense now why you are defending the statist principle that children belong to the school employees (and thus, the parents "need permission" to see their own children).
Like the MSNBC host, you share the belief that we must "break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities."
I appreciate your honesty in this little revelation.
