Safety outside school

I'm having another moan. Sorry about that but I'm really annoyed so I'll have to share it with someone.  Its about  parents who take their children to school by car.

Its not the fact that they take their children to school by car, because I know that some people may live a long way from school and it might be too long a walk for them. I also realise that some parents have to take the children to school  then go off to work. What has annoyed me is those parents who insist on driving right up to the school gates and dropping their children off  without even getting out of the car themselves, simply because they can't be bothered to find somewhere nearby to park. This causes a lot of congestion outside school and is also a danger to children who are trying to cross the street. The same happens at end of school time.

My grandchildrens' school is situated up a small side road and the zig zag lines extend to most of the school side of the street, so there's not much room for cars to park as there are also residents' cars parked there. Most of the time I walk my grandchildren to and from school as we only live about 10 minutes away.  If the weather is really bad I will take them in the car, but I park safely in a nearby street or on the road. It doesn't do the children any harm to walk a few yards even in the rain. I am also thinking of other children's safety when I do this.

So why can't other parents think this way?
