[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]also appreciate the comment about pictures. it may be a normal day for some, but for others its the first time their kid has ever gone to primary school, a forever memory, and i don't care one bit if it delays my drop off or others, you can't get that moment back![/quote]

The go park your car and walk up to the building for.pictures. you don't use the kiss & ride or drop-off lane if you know you need need to talk to a teacher or get out of your car to take picture or drop something off.  Just park you stupid car down the block and walk your kid up!  Better yet take the picture at home or after school.[/quote]

Lamb makes a big deal about not parking in the neighborhood to avoid angering the neighborhood.

I am a DC taxpayer and will freely park in the neighborhood as I see fit. I suggest other parents do the same. It is a breeze to park and walk a block or two. [/quote]

You must be so fun![/quote]

Why? Anyone can park on the street and pp is probably there for less than 15 min.[/quote]

It's more the "I pay taxes so I can do it!" attitude that was off-putting.  We all do what we have to do when our kids aren't in walking distance, but I don't think it's a bad thing to be mindful of a school's impact on neighbors. The PP seemed pretty scornful of that idea.  Maybe I read too much into their comment, but perhaps not....[/quote]

I’m super fun.

And no I don’t give a crap about the neighbors around lamb. I live in a neighborhood that is popular on the weekends. I don’t get to tell people to not park in my neighborhood and neither do the 16th street heights neighbors. Put up with it. It’s 15 minutes, max. You don’t get special rules. [/quote]

NP. I’m also add any neighbors that are going to park on their streets are already parked. Hardly any are coming right at 8:30 to park their cars. If they are, they know to wait until 9. No big deal. Especially in 16th St Heights where parking isn’t an issue.[/quote]

FWIW - after a couple of days (and what appears to be significantly fewer parents helping their kids out of the car) the kiss-and-ride at LAMB today was breeze.  even with kids at two different doors, I was in and out in under 5 minutes.  I'm not saying you can't park and walk in, but personally the kiss-and-ride system (when it works) makes drop-off blissfully easy for us (recognizing that my kids are older, familiar with the school and their teachers, and all of that certainly that makes a big difference - even if it's not for everyone I very much appreciate the option).[/quote]
