[quote=Anonymous]If the school's policy says that kids (of whatever age) won't be released except to a parent, then that policy should be followed. That said, parents should discuss with child what to do if they're left off and not met, no one home, etc. My kids walked 5 or 6 blocks to school in our CC Md neighborhood some years ago. Neither would have made today's cutoff age, and one was still 4 at this point in the school year. But they walked without a parent, and would have known what to do if I wasn't home, which I'm pretty sure I always was. "I was running late" in OP's post sounds pretty lame. But I also don't get that parents aren't working to instill appropriate autonomy in kids, including at least some idea of what to do in a simple situation like "You get dropped off and Mom's not home."
