[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traffic is horrendous around the school. A 10 minute trip turns into a 25 minute trip just because the roads and school lots weren't designed for the population the school currently has.  The line for student drop offs has reached almost to Post Oak Rd. so anyone [b]in the line at 7:35 am will be late to class.  [/b]

My child has started riding a bike because it's faster than driving. However, I do worry about his safety because a car hit him on his bike this year but luckily he was just bruised. The kid driving didn't stop though to make sure my kid was ok. Anyone driving should slow down and watch for bikes and pedestrians.[/quote]

So first bell is 7:40 am. If you know the traffic is bad, here's an idea LEAVE EARLIER. It is amazing how many Churchill parents expect their little snowflakes to be able to be dropped off at the front door and not have to wait more than 1 minute for that privilege. So much of this problem has to do with selfish behavior and expectations of this community, cutting through the parking lot, speeding, on their phones, dropping kids in the middle of the street etc. And you wonder why the kids do the same thing? Look in the mirror.[/quote]

Yes, thank you! [/quote]

We leave at 7:15 and are in the parking lot at 7:25. It's already bad then. I've not see a parent on a phone or dropping a kid off in the middle of the street.   We aren't even allowed to drop the kids off within even a block of the school without being threatened with a ticket.  Many parents have jobs with long commutes. The traffic situation at Churchill makes for a horrible start to the day for all.  No matter what people thought of Benz, it wasn't this bad last year.[/quote]
