Hellobee Boards

I love this sign, and I 100% agree with the tone. Your children should be your 100% priority, and they are excited to see you! Be in the moment.

@ElbieKay: exactly.

I NEVER see any parent on their phone during drop off/pick up. yo usally have a billiion things in your hands (jackets, artwork projects, paperwork from daycare) to even worry about it.

but seriously this sign is obnoxious, if i am paying daycare to take care of my babies, i expect tact when delivering messages not trashy attention seeking dialogue. this would really rub me the wrong way as a their client and i would complain about how rude it is.

It seems to be general consensus that it shouldn't be a thing to be on your phone at school pick up. I mean logistically and common courtesy. The people who don't think so or understand that probably need something like this to get the message across. I am 100% fine with it! Of course, we walk to school and about 70% of the time I don't even bring my phone with me. It would drive me crazy to see people on the phone when they are picking up their kids!

A cold scold is not the best approach. Many other ways to communicate this message. The people doing it probably won't listen to something like that.
I don't consciously do or not do it. I don't think I have but maybe I have for some odd reason. If I saw a sign like that I would think that the admin was rude, condescending and unprofessional. If they can't find another way to communicate with their audience in a respectful way (or find someone on their staff who does) then they aren't getting my vote of trust.
