[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1400729, member: 17843"] Do a large number of parents in your area take and pick up their kids from school every day? In my area, they do, and that is a huge cultural change from when I was in school in the 70s and 80s. It's probably been going on now longer than it seems, but once I gave it some thought, my question is, "why?" I live in a rural area where traffic isn't exactly New York City, but during a brief window of time in the mornings and evenings, traffic is like a madhouse due to parents transporting their kids. In the last few years, people will come in complaining about traffic before and after school, and it raises the question, "why the heck are so many parents taking and picking up their kids from school these days?" Congestion has gotten so bad, schools have designated lanes as "parent drop-off" and "parent pick-up" to divert them from bus lanes. When I was a student, nobody took their child to school and picked them up every day; they rode the bus. The only time anybody got picked up was if they had an appointment or something out of the ordinary was going on with the family schedule that day. How do people have time? Do they not work? Why would they want to even if they had time? [/QUOTE]
