Bad behaviour in the playground (by the parents)

Do schools have any remit to ask for reasonable behaviour in the playground? Seems to be a daily occurrence that my daughter hears parents swearing at their children and other parents or even in general conversation? surely schools could ask for a certain standard on school premises or can't they?

I suspect they can't, because if they can, I don't understand why they don't.

sorry seem to have an overkill on the question marks

well they could request it obviously but how to enforce it?

DD's school sometimes has a reminder for parents in the newsletter to be aware of how they speak when at the school, we had a spate of incidents last year where some parents had massive arguments / fights in the playground

Well, the school could send out a letter asking the parents to stop swearing, but as this doesn't, in my experience, stop parents parking on double yellow lines, bringing their children through the car park, letting two year olds turn somersaults on the railings of the disabled ramp or pretty much anything else, I doubt it would stop them swearing.

Wish they'd put up signs in our school tbh I can't believe that some parents can't refrain from swearing for 10 minutes a day. They don't even lower the volume it's full pitch the length of the playground.
