Folks – I was visiting Emma on the playground at Cumberland Elementary for lunch today. Like I’ve done every other week all year for her and Ian. Like I’ve done every other week for all my kids since my oldest was in Kindergarten 9 years ago. Cumberland apparently just enacted a “no parents on the playground” policy and I was asked to leave the playground. Of course, I refused. Now I’m being called into the principal’s office. This policy simply isn’t sensible. It crosses the line of reason. I hope I’m not the only one who feels this way. Can you join me tomorrow at 9am at Cumberland to discuss this issue with Kim Bowers? Perhaps there are enough of us that this policy will have to be reconsidered. I can also find another time if enough people are in support but can’t make it then.
