[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have both options.  I prefer walking in and dropping off my child and picking up.  I like to have a 30 second conversation to ask how the day went (just want to know if it was a good day or what we need to work on).  I hate the pick up line as they bitterly complain about our car seats and refuse to strap in my child properly despite showing them repeatedly.  [/quote]

+1 I actually enjoy my child and enjoy the extra 20 to 30 extra seconds communicating with him.[/quote]

Are those 20-30 seconds the only time you chat with your child?  If so, how sad for you.

I hate people that complain about how everyone should do things they way they want.  Teachers are getting the the kids in the car and the line moving, it is your responsibility.  Therefore, you pull up and park in a parking spot and fix the straps.

And why doesn't your child know how to put on the straps?  My oldest learned at 2 1/2 yrs and my youngest learned at 3 yrs old.  Teach your child to be independent and responsible instead of teaching them how to complain about everyone not doing things the way you want.[/quote]

I agree that if the PP wants the child strapped in correctly, the PP should go to the parking lot and park and do it the PP's own self.

But as for the PP's child knowing how to put on the straps -- with the car seat we had, my youngest could clip the chest strap at age 2 or 3 but didn't have hands that were big/strong enough to clip the leg part until age 6. (Yes, my kid was in a 5-point harness at age 6. I have a very small kid.)[/quote]
