This is great! So many parents need to see this.

Lady in the video with the white SUV standing outside of her car with the left side door open - we are looking at YOU.

You never know why someone might be helped out of the car, don’t judge people.

If a student can not quickly and independently exit the vehicle the driver should park and help.

At our school the staff tells parents they are not allowed out of the car and if they need to get out that means they need to park. I park to let my kids take their time gathering their things and give me kisses. If we are late or if is raining they know they have to tuck and roll.
The lady in the white SUV should park. No judgement.

The car line is not for those people. If you need to help your child get out, park your car and don’t inconvenience the 800 cars behind you. That time adds up.

Anyone who would let their 8 year old sit in the front seat, and drive through carpool line with a phone in their hand, is an incredibly irresponsible person. She doesn't deserve to have children, much less internet fame.

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.

You are right but that’s when you park. The car lane is not for you.

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.

Threads like this remind me that DCUM is full of people with sticks up their *sses. It's humor people.

Driving with young kids in the front seat is illegal, it's not funny. Using a phone while driving is illegal, it isn't funny. She could have done a "dry run" version of it in her driveway with the kids in the *back* seat and her not filming while driving, and that would have been great. She should not "joke" about keeping a car moving while kids are getting in and out. That puts kids and staff/volunteers/other drivers in harm's way, and that isn't humor.

Her overall theme of get them ready, practice, make it quick, don't use this time to kiss and chat is a good point. But unfortunately that got lost with her doing this in such an unsafe way.
