Are you amazed that more elementary school kids don't get hit by cars during the crazy drop-off and pick-up madness?

1 Answer

Answer :

The school my kids attend does a wonderful job at traffic control. They have teachers/paras at every cross walk and the principal stands in front guiding all the cars through the parking lot. My kids cross the street to my car at pick up time, but they always use the cross walk and are always escorted by an adult and student members of the safety patrol. Here at least, it seems to be up to the administrators to implement a safety program that works and, well keeps kids safe. At our school at least they have done a great job of it.
