This is after school. The group of parents is in charge, not the principal. It's similar to a playgroup but located at the school playground.
When your child is in first grade, the border between group of friends goofing off and ... not is very fluid. We're trying to help them negociate and play together.
These kids usually do better after a rainy day where they weren't allowed to play after school. It's a privilege (for them) and when they lose it for a while, they step up and behave better. Of course, other things that help are bringing other games, like chalk for writing or soccer or footballs for playing ball-based games.
