As an aspiring principal, I would honor the parent's request. I'd make a
copy of the form for each of the child's teachers and tell them to honor
the request. Parents, not schools, are responsible for the education of
their children, and if the parents choose to handle certain portions of
that themselves they are certainly free to do so. I suspect that after a
couple weeks of daily phone calls the parents will either decide to
withdraw the child from the public school or else tell the school to ignore
the form. One other possible outcome might be that we, as a school, might
discover just how much time is spent on these topics, and that we might
decide that they don't deserve as much time as we are giving them.
Just my opinion.
