[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waiting for a ride outside her school by herself for 30 minutes (after school has let out)?

She attends a public school that’s not in our area so we don’t have bus service (long story). I have to leave work to pick her up by 3pm, which will work every day but Wednesdays, when I won’t be able to get to her until 3:30pm. This would mean DD (who turns 13 in November) would wait for me in front of the school for 30 minutes after school buses have left. There’s a bench and it’s under cover in case there’s rain or inclement weather.

She would sit and read or look at her phone until I pick her up. [b]I would probably call her from my car and keep her on speaker phone while I drive to her.[/b]
I’d have to come up with a plan B when it’s freezing outside.

Would you feel comfortable with this?

That's the dangerous part. Please do not do that. Put the phone away when you drive.

For her to sit in front of the school for 30 minutes, that's fine. For you to drive distracted for 30 minutes because you're worried that something might happen to her while she's sitting in front of the school, is not fine. You'd be endangering everybody else on the road, including other children who are walking home from school.[/quote]
