Because sometimes expectations aren’t clear to all parents unless they are reminded of them.
A parent who truly disagrees with a sign like this is likely to ignore it - and I think that’s fair enough if they really do disagree with it. But far more often, it’s simply a matter of acting without thinking too much about it. Explaining the thinking behind a rule (or a guideline or whatever it is you want to call it) is something schools should do whenever they can.
“A parent who truly disagrees with a sign like this is likely to ignore it”
And this is when the fun begins. Having a parent come on school grounds, even to a high school, is like opening up the gates of hell if it is determined that the parent ignored the rule in defiance. They can, and have, called the cops, have the unwelcome parent captured, and arrested.
Branch Elementary School A Texas elementary school regularly threatens criminal charges to parents who enter the property to drop off or pick up their children. And the school systems in different parts of the country practice their “bad person on campus” at different times and it is almost always a deranged father.
And all they are really sup[posed to do is teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. But they have to get into life skills, not their area of expertise, and force it down the parents and kids throats. And use the law to do it. Stay with what you know. Leave the education of my kids morals and responsibilities to me.
