[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried skewing your drop off time? If I drop at the very beginning of window, we sail through. As it gets closer to the end of the window, it takes forever.[/quote]

This works in the morning, but not in the afternoon. Parents at our school start lining up 30 minutes early, which defeats the point of being first. OP kids just need to walk home. They will be fine.[/quote]

You pick up towards the end of the pickup window. It's almost never crowded if your kid is among the last to leave.

I agree with those that suggested that OP needs to drop the kids off maybe a mile away from school and have them walk the rest of the way. Or ride a bike if that's safe. I disagree with those suggesting dropping activities - the activities aren't to pad their college resume, it's there because the kids might be passionate about them, and it keeps them off screens and social media. Idle hands and all that.

The vast majority of good teachers of any instrument will teach out of their studios. Expecting them to go to the student is pretty unreasonable.[/quote]
