That's why I make a point of doing my paperwork pick up in office at the end of the day. .
The administration needs to do more, I agree. I brought up the sports conduct issue being applied to all school events. . .they (pastor and principal) were supposed to bring it up at a meeting--and they did, but those that needed to hear it were not there. They've never followed through with a Code of Conduct for parents for all events; behavior in the school, treatment of children, treatment of other parents, etc. .The code for sports spectator conduct is cut and dry--you show unsportmanlike conduct at a school sporting event (threatening coaches, other players, refs) and you're banned from the game, being a volunteer, attending school evets --meaning no chaperoning, etc. . that's the code but it only applies to sports. I would like to see it apply to all school events. . there should be some consequences for rude behavior--like screaming confrontations on school property, vulgar name calling, favoring some children in class while ignoring others, treating parents or staff who are working or running an event rudely.
Right now--our current principal is leaving (and has already mentally left), our new principal is aware of the dynamics, but questions about how she'll deal with them are up in the air. Our pastor says he won't tolerate it, but he's allowed them to run rough-shod for too long, and actions speak louder than words. We'll see. ..
