An Open Letter To Parents of Students at Battleford Central School

To those that park on the street like you’re supposed to, kudos and thank you! To the rest of you:

The parking lot that teachers park in on the North side of the school is a PARKING LOT FOR TEACHERS! It is NOT meant for you to drive through to pick up your kids.

Every time a parent drives through to pick up their kid, they risk running someone else’s kid over. You run the risk of hitting MY child. I may be small, but nobody ever wants to see what I’m capable of doing if someone hurt one of my children.

I was nearly run over while walking my daughter back to our car (that was parked on the STREET) no less than THREE times!

Are you more important than the rest of us who have to park on the street? Do you pay extra school fees so you have the privilege of parking there? Is your child’s life worth more than mine?

In case you’re an asshole, the answer is a resounding NO.

There are numerous signs posted that say “No Through Traffic”. If you’re capable of driving a vehicle, you should be plenty capable of reading those signs and obeying them. If not, then I hope you won’t mind if I shove those signs up your ass. Then maybe you’ll pay attention to them.

I can tolerate ignorant people, but I will not tolerate them putting my children’s lives in jeopardy. Go be stupid somewhere else where it doesn’t hurt people around you.
