If a secondary school principal said (in a principal talk to parents at an open day event) that if you and your children are not prepared to co-operate with the school’s policies and behaviour expectations that you shouldn’t apply to the school?

It’s a reasonable thing to say.

Well yes....that makes sense.
Why would you apply to a school whose philosophy you don't agree with? (although unfortunately in some parts of the UK you don't really get much choice and it's the nearest school or nothing)

I’d think good for them and apply to another school if I wanted to break their rules before my child even started.
Some people are ridiculous
