[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids get themselves to and from school unless there's some significant reason they can't take the bus. I work during school hours, but I am shocked to see parents pull up at school, get out of their car, walk to the back, and open the door for their kids. What happened in the last 20 years that kids old enough for elementary school are no longer capable of getting in and out of a car themselves?

I only pick up from school if the kids have to be somewhere directly afterwards and won't have time to come home first. [/quote]

Why wouldn't I walk them? They are important.  Should I just open the door and kick them out next time.?[/quote]

Where are you walking them? You've pulled up at the curb. Can't your kid hop out and be on their way? YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOUR CHILD. That's my whole point. Why are parents pulling up to school and then getting out of their car to open the door like they're a valet? [/quote]

Well my old beater car won't open from the inside on one side.  If my kid needs to exit from that side, she either needs to climb into the front (won't be possible that many more years), or I need to get out myself and open the back from the outside.  One of these days I will get it fixed, but I keep forgetting.  But it's not because I'm pampering her.  [/quote]
