Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wanted their son to have a (somewhat) normal life, so they sent Maddox to school with other kids. It seems the problem wasn't the other students, however; it was the parents who were star-struck, stopping Brangelina when they dropped off or picked up their son to take photos or ask for autographs. Apparently, they took it so far that the school's director sent a letter home to the parents to educate them on etiquette in dealing with the celebrity parents.
"I'm sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt," the letter said. "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."
