I think I was abused as a child. I had to walk three blocks to school without Mommy holding my hand. This was in LA, and it almost snowed once. Don't parents get arrested for that now?

There's a no parking sign at the student drop off? What are parents supposed to do? Kick the kid out the door at a slow roll?

No, its a drop off area. You stop, let the kid out, then move along. You're not supposed to just leave your car there.

I drop my kids off on Mondays and the ther 4 days i get out because i have a smaller one that goes those days. My kids cant get out of the van themselves because it is safety locked from the inside, so someone has to let them out. I also kiss them goodbye. It takes all of about 30 more seconds.

The teachers at this school will open the doors for you to try to speed you along and actually will tell you there is no need for you to get out. :lol: I love that! Sometimes it doesn't work though. :sad:
Like I said, if you want/need to get out. There is a parking lot for that.

I must have missed the part where someone actually parked there and walked away from the car, but people do stupid crap every day. Whatta' ya' gonna' do? If I let every little thing bother me, I'd be in a padded cell.

..and that's just too long for some people.

camily, have you actually "timed" this? I bet it's not taking as long as it seems.

Each individual car may not be that long. When the idiot two cars behind them moves up two spots and does the same thing instead of doing their thing while car #1 is, then it gets rediculous.

I must have been sorrowfully neglected as a kid too. I had to walk to the main street (just over a block) from my house to catch the bus by myself from 1st grade on in District Heights.

When we drop our son off we are in a long line of other cars. There is a certain spot where you let your kids out of the car, it is marked out for you and school staff to keep every one in order. It is very safe the way the do it. The cars keep moving in order, I think it would be very unsafe any other way with so many cars and kids. You really should have your child ready when it is your turn and try not to have to get out of the car with them. Back packs in the trunk could be a problem and slow down things for all.

True, I went to the same school they do and walked. I watch another kid though and drive a neighbor kid as well. Plus I drive 4 kids to the middle school.

Makes you want to ram the back of their grocery-getter, doesn't it?

I'm with ya, girlie. These bubble people who have to supervise their freakin' kid walking into the school, and have to pull *right* up front so little Prunella doesn't have to walk an extra 10 feet.

:rolleyes:

They do that at my daughter's school, nevermind their kid is in 5th grade and there are aprox. 5,738 faculty and staff out there monitoring the kids in the morning.

I think these were the same moms I met that were horrified to find out their child's Little League plays fastpitch girls softball.
