does this sound rude?

I don't think your letter was rude, but I do think, however, that your letter may help for a short time... then maybe 2 weeks to 2 months later, it'll go back to the way it was before. Sometimes these things just don't change because people go back to their awful (and annoying!) habits!

Good Luck! :)
 
Well at my kiddo's school (he is 3 yo) they have teachers waiting for the kids. Open the door wish you good day and take the kids to class.
Same goes to pick up. There is a teacher with a mic calling kids names and another teacher bring the kid and buckle him/her up.

But I have to say I have the feeling that I would be one of those parents who waits till the kiddo cross the gate (not the ponytails and such). These are crazy times and I really rather to deal with an angry parent in the line that something worst for my kid.
 
I should add too, I wouldn't park and walk her in because then I'd have to bring the little dude with and, frankly, I'd rather have some parents irritated with me for waiting (btw, the door to the school DD will go to is only like 10 feet away from the drive way) than have to rein in the 3ing circus that is my son. Bless his curious lil heart, but he turns a 20 second trip into a 3-hour tour... then we get stranded and he wears a white bucket hat and I have to call him "Little Buddy" and the coconut radio...

OH THE COCONUT RADIO!!! *faints*

Seriously though... the kid's a train wreck... throw in a bunch of other kids as an audience and he can't be stopped. Can't wait til he's in school :glare:
 
I didn't find it rude either..

Parents at my school have such a sense of entitlement. They say and do just about anything they want. As a teacher who has to help wave cars on in the pick up line, its aggravating to have a parent scream at you when you have only asked them to pull up because there is fifty feet of empty lane in front of them. They couldn't give a rats behind if the traffic is backed up to BFE. *grrr* Sometimes it takes a parent to address it to the principal to get a change made. I wish you luck Lizzy!
 
Can I cut and paste your letter and send it to our principal? We have 2 moms that especially do this EVERY SINGLE DAY. It drives me nutso!!! I think next time I'll just pull up behind them and lay on the horn until they move... :D

Great way to make friends huh....
 
maybe a bit rude but I'm assuming since you addressed her by her first name maybe you have "that type" of relationship with her.

I do however think you are not addressing a huge part of the problem...the school itself. It's their fault that there is no plan or procedure put into place just as much as it's the parents problem for "doing their own thing". It can obviously be done and done right since so many other have posted about their own school's procedures that seem to run smooth as silk!!

I think you would be better off writing to and complaining to the school board. Giving the example of your old school to let them know it CAN BE DONE!!

I'll be honest....if there was no clear guidelines or set rules I would be that parent that waits the extra minute to make sure my child gets into the school. And I would not park and walk them in because then I would have to drag 2 extra kids in (and 3 extra kids coming this fall)!! However I would not hold discussions or fix hair ect.....but yes I would wait till the entered the doors.

But I do understand the frustrations of parents that don't have the extra minute so for that very reason my children ride the bus and I would only take them if it was a case of missed buses or if they had large projects that needed to be taken to school and even then we try and have DH taken them when ever humanly possile!!!
