OUTRAGED
They said they could not take the numbers under any circumstances unless the parents gave them my numbers. I tried to reason with them and explained what harm would it do to take the information. If I am not on the pick up list, I wouldn't be able to pick them up any way, but at least they have someone to call that could find my daughter or her fiance' and they could get to the school. I bring the kids to school and pick them up at dismissal time on a regular basis.
I told the school and the school board as far as I am concerned I considered it irresponsible. All they would have to do is call me and ask me to get in touch with my daughter and that they needed to talk to her. Do you see the harm in that?
Why wouldn't a school air on the side of caution and at least take the numbers. They could "red flag" them as numbers not given to them by the parents, but at least they would have a way to contact some one. They could go back and check their records to the schools they previously attended in this same county, and they could see that I was listed on the contact list.
Is this the world we live in? This isn't the American way. We were brought up in my day and age to protect your children at home in schools, everywhere at all costs.
Some radical changes need to be made, because this policy makes absolutely no sense to me no matter how I try to understand it.
Wouldn't you do the same thing if you had kids or grandchildren or am I the only fanatic, obsessive convulsive crazy one?
