PSA: Dropping off kids at school

Oh, they also like for all the kids to get out of the car on the right side so they are not having to cross in front of other cars. It really works out great when everyone follows the plan.

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.

I wouldn't want my child to walk to school in Waldorf these days either. I started school around the time PG county began mandatory bussing, otherwise I would have walked 6 blocks to the neighborhood school.

I walked 2 f*in miles to high school and yes, uphill (one way) in N.W. PA where they have serious smow.

I drop my kid off at high school since I drive right past it going to work. Let me add one more peeve, please give your 16 year old driving lessons some other time! Bugs me to sit and wait while the 5 cars in front of me play Chinese fire drill so mommy/daddy can get back into the drivers seat and spend a minute or two re-adjusting the flippin seat! The 10 minutes extra driving time your kid gets isn't going to significantly improve their driving skills! :burning:

Actually, it does the opposite. It makes them crappy drivers like their parents.

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.

Exactly. If it were just one person, that would be annoying but not cause for road rage. But when you have them one right after the other and you're sitting for 15 minutes waiting for them, it's time to get the blowgun.

We all ride together in the AM, fist hubby drops son off at school, then me at my office. But we tend to not talk much, just tired and sleepy I guess.

:killingme It's a big joke (so people think) that I don't like OPC. I really don't though. I can take them in small doses, but any more than that and I might just blow my brains out. It's funny how many people will admit to me privately that they don't like them either. They feel the need to act as if they love all children, all the time.
I don't. Deal with it. :killingme

I've had to pleasure of observing student pickup/drop off at The Calverton School. The parents never get out of the car - teachers retrieve the child(ren) and their belongings curbside. They even have umbrellas just in case it's raining. In the afternoon, the teachers literally buckle the kids in their seatbelts. Imagine how long that takes.

It was the most absurd thing I've ever seen, but I guess you get what you pay for. :shrug:

But at least you can smack your own children when they get out of line. Trying smacking some other Mommie's precious darling and see what happens.

Not that it matters why, but there's no room for her bag in my car.

I don't particularly care about the matter one way or another, but I felt like commenting on this.

Either you are a liar or your car is so full of crap that you probably shouldn't have a child in it anyway. Your average backpack holds maybe 1.5 cubic feet (+/-).
