We have had to sign off on things occasionally- but usually only large assignments or commitments. I guess this could also be something just for the of the beginning of the year. We haven't started this year yet, but if I remember correctly, we had a few teachers who wanted signed evidence that parents had seen and reviewed the syllabus and/or course expectations,
My thought is that it is to defend against parents who go and complain when Johnny doesn't follow the rules and gets a bad grade. Yes, it's insulting, but I would discuss with your DD that it is not directed at kids like your her (or parents like you) and probably just sign it. But I am one who resists making waves; and anyway, there were lots of other things my kids found more onerous/insulting, (so maybe have the "choose your battles" discussion, too.)
