THis!
We've been getting the emails already warning us not to do this, yet people do it anyway.  [b]It's unsafe and the school can't watch over your kids for free[/b] when the teachers are trying to get ready for the day.  Honestly I don't know how the school handles it exactly.  Do the staff walk right by these kids?  Do they bring the kids to one of the classrooms because it's unsafe to leave them outside unsupervised?
Your plan sucks OP.  We shell out for before care for this reason.  I have to be at work at 8am.  So either shell out for before care or see if you can drop your child with a neighborhood child who's also heading to that school.  It pisses me off that I pay for before care and some people try to skip out on doing the right thing.

Why is it unsafe?

And maybe the people dropping their children off don't expect the school to watch over their children. Maybe they expect the children to watch over themselves until the doors open. [/quote]

It's unsafe because the school will view themselves as liable, and if anything were to happen to this child, don't you think the parents would blame the school?  Yes, they would.  And the school knows that.  Whatever, who cares about that point- the point is, the school says it's not allowable yet OP wants to do her own thing anyway.  [/quote]
