Make sure you are not "packing heat", turn off the booty call ring tones during the scheduled parent teacher conference, refrain from yelling or calling your child names that are inflamatory, no tube tops, and above all refrain from the phrase, "I'll cut ya..." when a disacgreement ensues with either another teacher or parent in the immediate vacinity.

No laffing and pointing when someone makes any loud body sounds. Also, don't make any loud noises yourself! AND, try wearing some deodorant, brush your teeth and use some Scope! Some of these classrooms smell like an exhibit at the stock show!

If you have a young one who is gonna cry if you let them off in the drop off lane, for the sanity of everyone behind you, pull into the parking lot and deal with them. Don't sit in your car for what seems for ever trying to calm them down. Yes it is scary for them but remember there are about 15 or now 20 cars backing up onto the main road waiting on you

Parents parking their vehicles on both sides of two lane streets near a school create a congested traffic nightmare.

How about don't stop in the middle of the road to let your kids out of the car.
