Here we go again, "a major storm in a teacup" this time (last time I was accused of going "full smart ass"), but I said I was irked and now most of us are having fun discussing around it, with some giving similar experiences. I did not blow it out of proportion, and even admitted in the beginning post that my ego was involved. Anyway, I like forums and the ability to discuss stuff, sometimes in detail. However, it is quite interesting to read some posts that suppose so much happened and really go off the rails with comments (I don't believe that yours did Rowan, but the earlier one I noted did).

Besides, even if another parent called, the result would have been the same. Law enforcement may observe more if they get called (things get pointed out to them, which is good community involvement), but if someone is acting lawfully that person should not have to explain themselves - whether another parent called in, the school administration called in, or the principal called in. They don't own the property that I'm lawfully on, they just work there, so I should have the right to go about my business without being questioned by a Sheriff's Deputy. Had I been doing something like committing a crime or trespassing, then that changes things.
