This is absolutely ludicrous. A Tennessee father was arrested recently- for picking his children up at school by foot. The school’s policy is that children can either ride the school bus or be picked up by parents in cars. The line of cars to pick up kids though was over a mile long, and causing safety issues by blocking a highway, so Jim Howe got the crazy idea that he’d walk to pick his 8 and 14-year-old up. Well, considering that the school employs Roscoe P. Coltrane as a resource officer, that didn’t go over too well.
Here’s the video of what happened.
And here’s more info on this case in case you’re interested.
Just about the dumbest thing I have seen. Lakeland schools at Rathdrum built a grade school at Twin Lakes and they require all the kids to ride the bus to school, even those within a half mile of the school. You see a big housing development is close to the school but across highway 41, so they have to be bussed to school.
One of the north Spokane schools is the same way! Can't remember which one but I think it's in the Mead District. Seems ridiculous AND all those parents' cars just add to the traffic on the highway and the danger to the children!
