The fact that St. Mary's hired him speaks volumes about their persistent insularity. Not surprised by this from school where "Let's Go Brandon" stickers are on a good number of cars at pick up. Unimpressive decision made by an unimpressive school.
+1 live in the neighborhood and the behavior by parents (mainly moms) at pickup is attrocious

That being said, it is difficult to lineup the cars per city guidance and not block any driveways in an urban area. Thankfully, there are very few driveways that are impacted.
I understand it can be an inconvenience and agree PP was out of line with their comments.

Any concrete examples? Or is it their mere existence (invasion) in your precious little, grossly overrated Old Town that troubles you?
Actually I grew up going to st Mary’s so would like to give the school the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately the cars consistently block intersections, block drive ways, etc. That would be manageable if it were just right near the school, but a large number of families claim their children are “walkers” so they can pick them up from a few blocks away without having to wait in line. These are the parents that have fairly poor behavior. Thanks for your generalization of old town, you seem incredibly mature and neighborly.
Please let the school know what you observe, especially if you are seeing obnoxious behavior or think people are abusing a walker privilege. We are all part of the community and should treat one another with respect.

Old Town is a PUBLIC area. If you don’t like the cars, MOVE.
In case anyone wasn't sure of the general attitude of St Mary's parents, this is a good snapshot.
I wonder if any PUBLIC schools in the area restrict or mandate HOW students get to school, such as saying you can’t walk if you live more than x miles from the school. (Hint - they don’t and never would.). But the woke atheist heathens in charge of the city impose different rules on St Marys.
Oh my. This poster does NOT represent the general attitude of St Marys families. Most of us care about our community and aren’t as self centered as the “I don’t follow the rules, my kid can be a walker if I say so” poster. As parents, we should demonstrate courtesy, adherence to the rules, and be a good steward of the community.
PP, your sinful behavior (ex. envy, greed, wrath!) is not Catholic. Go to confession.
Preaching/pointing fingers at others saying they are sinners is certainly not Catholic. Time to go back to DWTS Sean.
