simple math

okay so it's not really math...
just an observation
an observation of  what a + b =

and I'll go on the record to say I am in no way a perfect parent, I make a fair amount of mistakes in my parenting choices every day...

but just thinking...

if you take all the parents that blatantly disregard the school drop off loop rules and see how well their children follow rules we might start seeing a connection....

knock, knock, parents...are you in there?
...you can NOT expect your children to follow...obey...respect...
your rules...the school rules...the rules of society
if you 'teach' them that the safety rules and regulations that the school has repeatedly informed ALL of us about don't apply to you!...

1 parent that breaks the rules + a child watching that parent = a child with zero respect for rules!

I vote for a school jail on the front lawn on the school...
that other parents...a jury of their peers...
can vote the parents that break the school drop off loop rules into...
I would also like a safety patrol sash* and cute hat...
turn the collar into a sash...my new uniform
and a 'ticket' pad...
and all money paid from the fines would replace all the cookie dough, wrapping paper, candied nuts sales!

*blog note...when searching the world wide web for 'safety patrol uniform images' you NEED to have your parental block ON...WOW...

Oh my gosh, seriously!! There is always at least one parked car in our DROP-OFF lane at school, drives me nuts!!

I totally agree with school jail! What is it about dropping kids off at school that turns a mild mannered looking parent in to an aggressive NASCAR style driver? Then add rain and it's even worse.

I agree--parents in the drop off loop drive me CRAZY! I get so irritated with the parents who just sit in their cars and do who knows what. There is a PARKING lot for whatever that reason is-please don't back up the line! Then they start driving when other drivers have finally given up on them moving and are going around them nearly causing an accident. They are CLUELESS. UGH. This is one of my pet peeves as well and I could just go on and on but I won't.
