Government Authority Intrudes Upon Parents

Here’s an entire e-mail, an anecdote showing that government intrusions upon parents work to nix common sense in the raising of children.

“At a Parent-Teacher conference in 2008, I mistakenly asked the 4th grade teacher ‘At what age do you think our son could walk home from school alone, after all we live around the corner and it’s less than 100 feet to our building’.

“Teachers eye grew wide.
“My Wife gives me a kick under the table.

“Teacher mutters something about safety and protecting the children.

“I get a huge lecture from wife a week later. Apparently, the teacher reported my question to head of school and they had a side bar conversation with my wife.

“It’s worse than you could possibly imagine.”
