Value of Signatures

In my little boy’s school every assignment and project they do at home must be signed by a guardian or parent. If there’s no signature from us the assignments would not be checked and counted. I like the system implemented by the school because the parents would be forced into attending to their kids’ homework. I don’t know how they arrived at this regulation but in my son’s preparatory school I heard some cases of busy parents not being able to look into their kid’s school assignments. So I guess this is one way of bonding the parents with their kids and I certainly approve it. 

Well speaking of signatures I remember having my boss’ signatures on all pages of our bidding documents which is one of the requirements of our client. One officemate joked about having custom rubber stamps bearing our boss’ signature to sign on those documents to simplify things. Of course that’s not allowed as original signatures are really required for bidding and technical proposal documents. I know that’s part of authenticating that the submitted documents are verified by the company’s President.
