The best thing you can do is to teach your son how to handle situations like this. This will not be the first time this will happen.

Is there no bus? If there is, your snowflake needs to get on it.

Parents aren't allowed to get out of their cars in carpool.
OP, maybe your son is still very young -- kindergarten or first grade -- and the fifth-graders look like giants to you, practically grown up? But they're not. They're 11. When your son gets to fifth grade, I'm certain that you won't think of him as a practically-grown-up giant.
THIS RIGHT HERE. OP, sit with this for a minute because I'm pretty sure this PP is right. You have a little kid. You have anxiety about dropping him off. You want other children to be perfect. Well, they aren't. Which you will understand when your own child is 10 instead of 5.

Nothing better to be outraged about? A smirk? Really?

This is just a rant but I just don't understand why kids feel the need to be mean.
OP, you're a grown adult, right? And the patrol was a fifth-grader -- a person who is 10 or 11. And for all you know, the smile was not a "mean girl smirk" about your son's backpack, but instead a totally different smile about something totally unrelated to your son. Dial it down.
+1 OP you're either not describing the interaction very well or bizarrely overreacting.
Agree.
TOTALLY AGREE. wtf op.

The OP and her defenders must know nothing about 4th and 5th graders - they spend most of their day rolling their eyes and smirking.

Just look at their parents, OP! All the snark and nastiness that permeates nearly every thread on DCUM surely trickles down to their kids.
I'm sorry about your son.

The patrol head loves my son so I'd probably raise it to him if anyone....
Next there will be a post on DCUM: my daughter was talking to a friend while doing car duty as a patrol, and some random parent called the patrol head and said she was mean to one of the kids getting out of the car, wtf?...
