The whole car line to pick up and drop off is so weird to me. I grew up taking the bus or walking or riding a bike. The only time my mom ever drove me to school was when I had a doctor/dentist appointment in the morning or if I happened to be awake early and wanted to be dropped off across the street at the grocery store to buy some candy before school. The only time I was ever picked up from school was when I was in sports after school and didn't have a bus option.
Now I drive by schools that have a mile long train of cars waiting to pick up one person, all wasting gas and time. Why aren't kids walking down the line of cars to get to their parents car earlier? Why don't they take a bus?
The kids aren't allowed to walk down the line. It's dumb as hell
Because these days we must coddle and shield the little shits from any and all adversity, danger, self-reliance, mild discomfort, or being unsupervised for any span of time. Even a single nanosecond. If we don't, someone might get sued.
Before we took my daughter out of school entirely and put her in online school due to excessive bullying, we did drop-off and pick-up so she wouldn't be bullied on the bus.
I’m sorry your daughter had to experience that and hope she’ll grow into a strong adult.
However, that can’t be the reason for all those parents…
