Second at school? There's at least 3 on my block (including my neighbor across the street) and an uncountable number that I see darting around side streets in my neighborhood.
California apparently does not collect enough taxes so we can't afford busses anymore. Teachers and students often volunteer to direct traffic (i.e. don't stop at the front of the parking loop and back up all the cars behind you, drive all the way to the end) during morning dropoff which helps prevent huge traffic delays.
I still love dropping the kids off at school and watching the kids and staff struggle to figure out how to open the rear doors. Makes me chuckle. Poor kid today rode the struggle bus trying to figure it out.
It's because the younger kids are often too slow in quickly putting their stuff in the car, getting into the car, and buckling in. More schools are doing it as a way to keep the kids hustling and the car line moving.
Ok, thanks for that, but it still begs a couple of questions:
Thanks everyone for the additional context. Sounds like things are pretty different elsewhere. My school taxes are somewhat high, but we have busses (for those that want to use them), and very good public schools. State law also requires bus transportation be offered to private school (including charter school) students.
My child doesn't like the bus, the other does, why fight the battle I say. As for opening doors they don't do it every time, just if the teacher is right in front. I hold doors for people, I don't say so it yourself grandma
???! I can’t! It’s part of the “commons”. Have all the fun you want on it (just pick up after your pets) ????
