Pulling the Jesus Card

I LOVE the new carpool rules at the school. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! Of course, I complained all last year about the lack of rules and enforcement. We received a letter at home outlining the new rules. They are great and are there to keep our children safe.

I couldn't quite understand the moms who parked illegally, jaywalked across the street, in front of traffic and between cars in the carpool line to pick up their kids. Then they turn around with their child, walk between cars in the carpool line, cross the street in traffic and get in their illegally parked cars.

You know, we all pay the same tuition. I don't remember seeing the "Tuition plus VIP" area of the admissions statement. You know that VIP section that allows you to do whatever you want because you "pay tuition".

Apparently there was an issue on Tuesday, the first day of school. Now, who in their right mind expects the carpool line to flow perfectly the first day of school? OK, now, add the new carpool rules AND new parents to the school. You are looking at a 30min carpool wait, at the very least.

Wednesday we received a note home from school. It AGAIN outlined the rules and made some changes.

My favorite sentence in the entire letter reads like this:

For the safety of all, please allow the staff members to do their assigned tasks without giving them harsh words. We are a Christian school.

Yes, they did it. They pulled the Jesus card!

I love it.
