• Oh god, if only this could be done. I despise the attitude and accompanying culture of those that contribute to the utter clusterfuck around school gates in the morning.

  • There's no real problem at my daughter's school. There's no real parking outside the school anyway and it seems only 10 parents drop their kids off by car (probably something to do with having to live within a gnats chuff of the school in order to get in).

    It is the site of some of the worst pedestrian behaviour I've seen though, not by the children but by their parents. The children look before crossing the road, the parents just walk out.

    When I used to go past around school drop off time I often made a point of skidding to a stop just in time (I know, a bit of a dickish thing to do akin to a punishment pass) and then saying "Maybe you can teach your mummy how to cross the road safely."
