It is fucking irritating though, why the fuck don't they send their kids to a local school and make them walk or bike. It's a massive pain in the arse for everyone, and it is damaging to the environment with all that unnecessary mileage when dickheads travel across town to drop their kids off.
My village is perhaps a mile across with the school at one end which has no through road, some lazy fuckers even drive their kids there on the way to work.
I remember as soon as I was old enough I walked over a mile down 1 road to get to my junior school, before that my mum walked us. The locals took turns to take each others kids on the walk to the school as well.

Residents build wheelie bin blockade to stop school run parents clogging up road
The neighbours who live on a quiet road said they'd 'had enough' of parents dropping off and picking up their children at a nearby school and parking in front of their homes so decided to set up a wheelie bin blockadewww.mirror.co.uk
Ultimate cunt boomers.
Safeguarding? A ten year old can walk a mile to school.And today your parents would be referred for safeguarding purposes.
It's not the 1980s.
Sure, you can be upset about that, but being upset at parents trying to take their kids to school is beyond ridiculous.

i had to cycle to school when i went to senior school and junior school we always walked.
nothing has changed since the 80’s regarding kids legs and common sense.
Correct nothing has changed. Except parents refusing to a) walk with their small kids and b) kick their older ones out to get to school in time.Nope.
Really? That's retarded.And today your parents would be referred for safeguarding purposes.

Computer says?
New view = retarded.
Dont think anyone is saying send uncle tom to get freddy. Its about actually getting there and the age when kids are safe to go out on their own.We're not talking about parents when it comes to picking up kids.
We're talking about the schools and what they've been told to do.
I think you forget we live in a time where everyone is a pedo.
Do an experiment - go pick up one of your relatives kids from a primary school.
You have to give so much advanced warning, you can't just turn up and say 'oh I'm so and so's uncle'.

these are kids who run feral all the hours in the school holidays but cant walk to school a mile from their front door,

I said a small kid with uncle tom.. but could walk to school with their parent or registered carer.So you're saying that a school wouldn't allow a kid to walk back with uncle tom, but they would let them walk home on their own? huh?
I think it's pretty unfair to say parents are lazy, considering we live in a different world today with lots of couples working compared to back then for example.
@Raven Next time you see BMW dickhead go to school, see if he goes home afterwards or to work.
I think that's why people raise less eyebrows in inner city schools, where there's less raised eyebrows - because it's poorer and parents do work 9-5 without much negotiation.
I have seen some pretty cool solutions to help the situation in lots of primary schools though.
Not until the 19th July or soYou deal with the people blocking your drive, not this shit (as I had to do when we lived near a school). Its not a private road so they can fuck right off.
Yes there are entitled parents who think they can park where the fuck they like, and you sort them out in no uncertain terms.
NB. Isnt school over for the summer? It is here.

Go count the number of vehicles outside the school, 20 minutes before chucking out time, with people sat in them on Facebook. At my local primary school it's usually around 10-15 cars, diesel, idling away. That number rises the closer to chucking out time it gets. Come the event, the road is impassible - it is utter chaos.
That simply never happened when I was in primary school. Practically everyone walked home with their friends or alone.

And at 3:30 its not the 9-5 ers on their way back from work picking up the sprogs. Like you could argue for the ones dropping them off.Go count the number of vehicles outside the school, 20 minutes before chucking out time, with people sat in them on Facebook.

Weren't you just talking about how new housing estates are built for cars and not pedestrians, and I think you even made a comment how you wouldn't walk kids around new estates.
Honest to God, its like the fucking Yorkshiremen sketch around here. Since the 80s there has been a 250% increase in car ownership, so a. more people have cars to use, b. its more dangerous for kids to walk home.
In 1975, 74% of Primary pupils in England walked to school, now its 49%, but guess what else happened? Households with two people working went from 50% to 74%, an oddly symmetrical figure that is absolutely definitely a coincidence.
In addition , council provided school buses have declined by 60% since 1980.
For every yummy mummy in an X5 that goes off to pilates and fucking their personal trainer after dropping Jocasta and Tarquin off, there are five more who use their car because they have to. And before you (@Moriath) start bleating about the afternoons, check out the actual numbers because they will definitely be lower, with after school clubs and other child care solutions dealing with the afternoon shift.
What's wrong with the park and hitting each other with sticks eh?Child care solutions. Jesus.
