This afternoon, I visited an elementary school. It was about 10 minutes to the end of the children's school day.
The long line of cars that snaked around the perimeter of the school property made me think of what others may say is a silly question.
Why do parents pick up their kids from school?
I know many don't.
My parents did not pick me up from school. I was allowed to walk to and from school on my own because of the close distance of our house to the school and the safe walking conditions.
Outside of the obvious, such as the two reasons I just mentioned and you are a parent of school-age children, why would you pick up your kids from school?
Note: I am not a parent.
