“I had to sign a permission slip for my child who could drive himself to see it in a movie theater,” Judi Hayes told the outlet.
Parents like Hayes said they must sign a new permission slip for after-school programs and events almost every week.
“It seems like it’s just it’s out of control. It’s every single activity. And it’s burdensome on the staff because they have to chase down permission slips. The club’s sponsors are getting frustrated and giving up because it’s too much work,” Hayes said.
Hayes added that she even had to sign a form so her child could receive pre-calculus tutoring with their teacher after school. The teacher referenced the Parental Rights in Education law in notes to parents explaining why they were being asked to sign a permission slip.
Just apart from this being a completely irrational way to go about things, can you imagine how much time this takes up for everyone involved?
