Pick your child up from school and you could be charged with trespassing. That's the threat against parents at Bear Branch Elementary School in Magnolia ISD. This is the school's tactic to keep parents who live close to the school from walking on school grounds.
Bear Branch is losing students over this pick up policy, that's been in place since the beginning of this school year. The principal has decided that no matter how close the student lives to the school, the student must either take the bus, or the parent must wait in a long car pickup line. Try to walk your student off the campus and you could face criminal charges.

This is ridiculous. I understand what's behind it, though. Schools are not set up for safe walking to/from anymore, and these ******* parents drive too fast in and out of the pickup zone. I've had more meetings on this that I can count.These idiot teachers can't even consistently monitor cross walks. Kids would make better crossing guards by far, but that is not allowed for some reason.
The remedy is not this. A parent should definitely be allowed to walk their kid to school. I would go out of my way to walk my kid to school and try to get arrested.
Nice eco-friendly policy, by the way.
