School asks parents to stop pestering Jolie and Pitt
Parents whose children attend the same school as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's adopted son Maddox have been asked to respect the superstar couple's privacy in a letter.
Officials at the Lycee Francais De New York school want parents to stop pestering Jolie and Pitt for autographs when they drop off and pick up their kids.
The letter, from the school's director of operations Dan Cooke, reads: "Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition.
"Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren), I must ask for everyone to please respect the family's privacy and discontinue these practices."
Cooke goes on to make clear that Jolie and Pitt were keen to avoid any
disruption: "I want to make you aware that before the first day of school, I met with their security team to discuss the best manner for them to drop off and pick up their son.
"Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families."
