I would instantly turn into my mother for that one. I have to have a driver's license to enter a school that my taxes pay for, to see my child's classroom? What if I don't have a driver's license? No, how I got here is none of your business. Driver's licenses are for driving, not for visiting school classrooms, not for renting videos (that's the one my mother went ballistic about, many years ago). And I'll be darned if you're going to keep me out of my kid's classroom for not showing you a driver's license.
