What kind of collision are you imagining in a car line in a school parking lot?

Hitting the car in front of you? The car behind you hitting you? The driver is making a video and obviously distracted.

I noticed that, too. God forbid anyone express concern about a child’s safety on a parenting site, though. You’ll be accused of having a stick you-know-where.

(Incidentally, it’s quite funny that if someone disagrees with you, you immediately start screeching they have a stick up their ass, because that’s you know…not rigid thinking!)

+1. There is so much wrong with these videos. But "It Is A JoKe" so it's supposed to be OK. Reminds me of old men who remind me to smile.

Sounds like it’s really hard to be you.

NP. At our school, the policy is that the parent cannot get out to help the child, but yes the child may be helped to a reasonable extent by the line staff/volunteers. But if a child needs significant help on a consistent basis, the parents should park and walk.

That being said, this video/“tutorial” is extremely unsafe in one regard: the car, should, indeed, come to a FULL STOP. It’s not funny or productive to even joke about “tuck and roll” or suggest that the car should not come to a full stop. It most certainly should, for the safety of the kids, the staff/volunteers helping to move the line along, and the other vehicles and drivers.

She did come to a full stop. She’s joking.

“Most importantly, we are yielding,” Witherspoon jokes. “It’s not a stop. It’s a yield… We’re gonna teach them how to tuck and roll.”

Even if she is joking, she did indeed have young kid in the front seat and was driving while filming.

neither kid was wearing a seatbelt and a quick sudden stop even at 5 mph a kids neck will snap with the backpack working as a fulcrum

NP. This comment is amazing

You jump straight into mean. This is why "normal people" are leaving the site.

My dd is in first grade. Last year right before Kindergarten, we practiced "tuck and roll" over and over again until she got it. We bought a buckle bee so that she could unbuckle herself. We taught her how to open the door (including hitting "unlock" if it is locked), how to grab her backpack and lunchbox. And how to be quick about it all.

I am so sick of seeing kids who can't open car doors, who can't unbuckle themselves and parents who get out of the car! What the heck! You're making an unsafe traffic situation in the street (cars back up) because you don't keep the kiss and ride line going.

Yeah, if your kid can't or won't open the door himself, you do NOT belong in carline. And absolutely positively under NO circumstances should a left-side door open or an adult emerge from the car. GO PARK!

"I'm only going to say this once. If you have to bathe and dress your kid, comb their hair, scramble them an egg, and write them a send-off letter before they can exit the car, YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THE SCHOOL DROP OFF LINE," the Nashville mom wrote in a now-viral Facebook post. "Only people who raised their kids to jump out of the car with backpacks loaded like they are storming the beaches of Normandy while the car is at a slow roll are allowed in the drop off line."

And yes of course the car should be fully stopped. But only for about 15 seconds. Goodbyes and I love you’s should be already said and for the love of God don’t sit there to watch them walk inside.

Imagine how triggered you would be if you found out that we have pleasant mornings, hot breakfast, notes in the lunchbox...and a 5-seconds-at-most car exit when we go through the drop off line vs. walking!
