[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right..family 1 says good by to 4th grader who walks to school alone. She crosses 5 streets and a good number of strangers a long the way. Family 2 drops their fourth grader right at the entrance to the school where she waits with several other kids she knows. Family 1 is a fine family. Family 2 is borderline neglectful and not prioritizing their child.[/quote] Family 2 is secretly relying on the fact that there will be adults in and around the school to help their child is needed. This is my biggest issue with OPs plan. If OP is being honest, one of the reasons she is is ok with dropping her kid off early is that she knows there will be adults around in case of an emergency. So there really is an element of expected supervision. I mean, obviously if the school secretary looks out the window and sees a kid bleeding she isn't going to just shrug and ignore it because school hours haven't started yet.[/quote]
