My wife and I both work. Our 5 year old son has to be in his school seat and ready to go at 7:45 AM. If he is at school prior to 7:30 he must sit in a line on the cafeteria floor, being still and quiet. Very hard thing for a 5 year old to do. This leaves us parents a very narrow window in which to drop off our most precious possessions. He is one of 550 kids in his school, which is kindergarten through 6th grade, so the line can get quite long. But the alternative is to let a 5 year old try to walk to school. Not an alternative in my opinion.
Stop and think that the parents you are complaining about are not happy about the situation either. Perhaps you can attend the next PTA meeting at the school and voice your concerns, try to start a parent/citizen group to come up with a solution. Perhaps just alerting the parents/staff to the the fact that there is a problem would go a long way.
