Great thoughts from a parent on who is the socially accepted parental unit in schools…
I recently completed a marathon of paperwork for my children’s elementary school. It is my annual handwriting workout. I write more by hand at this time of year than at any other time of the year.
- Emergency contact forms.
- Medical forms.
- Tell us about your child forms.
- School policy forms.
- How your child gets to and from school forms.
- Acknowledgement of receipt of homework and discipline policy forms.
- A form to confirm receipt of forms (ok, not really)
Many of these forms ask for the names of adults and their relationship to the child.
Name: Chris Duckworth
Relationship to student: Parent
I write Parent. Not Father. But Parent.
