The cars should be numbered with the distance, in hundreds of metres, that the child lives from the school. Most would be single digits.Â

I’ll be honest, I would just park four blocks away and walk at that point. I don’t understand why more people don’t do that?

Theres this charter school near me that has a WHOLE ASS system for this, theres ONE part where the line begins and it snakes in and around the school’s grounds where theres ONE way out.
Very interesting. Doubt it could work anywhere else.

But don’t worry it only happens from 2 to 6pm every day.

In Serbia you get driven to/back from school once, your ass better remembers the road or you gonna be playing some dora the explorer

Our charter school has a dedicated pick up lane. Motherfuckas still can’t figure it out. 😒

Weren’t school busses supposed to make this not happen? You know, the free transportation that carries children to and from school and home in an efficient, safe metal tank?

Missing the car that blocks through traffic because they’re trying to cut in line at the wrong place to shorten their wait time.

you forgot the mom who stops at the beginning of the drop off spot instead of pulling all the way up. gets out to get kids backpack\tuba out of the trunk and then spends two minutes hugging their kid.

Ever heard of WALKING?

I work at a large school. Gotta give at least 15 minutes for the shit show to die down before heading out in the afternoon.

We have a system for this at our school and everyone has to follow it. If it’s a huge inconvenience you just pull into the parking lot on the side and go grab your kid.

Is this some joke I’m to European to understand?
No not really. Schools here also get way too much car traffic. We walk.Â

🟧 = 4 way stop where the sign specifically says no left hand turns during pick-up and drop-off times in order to alleviate BS traffic congestion, but nobody pays attention to that sign.

Somewhere in here needs to be old people on various side streets that do everything they can to stop their street from being used for this traffic.

Meanwhile, the school’s economics teacher:
Charge parents who are using a car a pickup/dropoff traffic toll, that is used to fund the school bus system, until you get a more desirable equilibrium of supply and demand.

I will never understand the obsession with putting all your school shit as far away from yourself in the vehicle as humanly possible.
It’s so fun waiting for six year olds to get out the car, pop the trunk, move your golf bags, go into the backseat for the lunchbox, and then lean back in the front seat to give you a hug goodbye. And when you see the person in front of you’s kid doing that, what happens, do you tell your kid to get the fuck out? Of course not! You gotta wait til you can pull right up to the front so your kid can go through the whole process as well.
Put my backpack between my legs and just hop-out? What kind of fucking witchcraft is that?

My kids school has the added benefit of parking lots so… we have people who will show up right as the kids start to get out and when a car moves cut into the gap between the two vehicles. Or if they are dropping their kid off, just stop in the parking lot and let their kid walk in front of the moving line. Or… people on their phone in line…

This is probably why my parents had me riding the bus. I don’t blame them.

Hi, an important part of my teaching job lol is helping afterschool pickups. Imma share this cuz our system is like ten times more complicated. And you forgot sleepers, texters, dead batteries, parents making weird sudden requests in line in languages other than English (not that there’s anything wrong that) – and this is probably site-specific, but our mortal enemies: JUMPERS (who try to hop lines to save time).

You missed a box that is literally a neighbouring property labeled “where half the parents and kids live”.

I remember elementary school (early 2000s), all the parents would be in the parking lot standing around, and us kids would just be released by the bell into the parking lot to search for your ride. Jump in and off they departed. No muss or fuss.
If you weren’t getting picked up you’d head to the busses on the other side of the school. Granted it was a smaller k-12 school. Maybe 500-600 kids total.
Many times I’d go with school friends and they would just drop me off at my grandparents house. Or my grandmother would just pick me up.

I have a school just down the road, every morning just a sea of cars both ways almost non-stop.
I can’t fathom buses aren’t still a choice. Are parents collaboratively agreeing this is better than just a bus doing all this in the background without you having to do any of this bs?

My car is not on this map because I parked a 3m walk away & can stroll up to get my kid unflustered.

Back in my day we took the school bus and it was a ton of fun!
Hanging at the bus stop in the morning with your friends and chatting it up on the bus to and from. I loved it.
