Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time
No. Bullshit. When I got cut loose from 70s-80s elementary I was on my fucking own. We could walk, ride, skate, whatever. We did not require a fucking adult to care for us. Bell rings? GTFO! BYE!
Oh yea dude, people doing thankless low paying jobs that require the same education as jobs that pay much better are sooooo greedy and not at all passionate.
I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.
The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.
When I first moved to the town I live in now, I was impressed by the all new schools. However I eventually realized they replaced a bunch of older neighborhood schools with a smaller number of bigger schools. They saved money by providing a worse educational experience and making walking less likely.
We walked to my kids elementary school but the town saved money by not plowing the sidewalks in winter, nor forcing residents to. Our walk would require walking on a major street - until my ex went full Karen and made them plow
When my kids got to middle school, we were in “walking” distance so there was no bus. However that was a full mile including crossing a six lane road whose light was always broken, and they didn’t spring for a crossing guard . We ended up choosing a private school in a different town, so there were no buses nor walkability
Regional school districts are now common. More kids goto schools that are not even in their towns
Back in my day, the early to mid 90s, there were still pickups. There was a shorter line, it was easier, because there were fewer people.
Where I live now, and where I lived then, there was cutoffs for the bus, like a mile or more. My town now, barely anyone is a mile from anything. There’s one bus for the school, and they use it for underprivileged and disabled students. Everyone else is on their own, and so if you live a mile from school, having your four or five year old walk sometimes isn’t feasible.
We live about a mile from school. I drive halfway and park and we walk the other half, because I cannot stand the pickup line. But some people go, drop their kid, and head to work, and so it’s completely understandable that they use the pickup line.
The fact that school pickup lines exist is wild.

Greatest country in the world…

Idk maybe teachers these days care idk
oh, they definitely don’t care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.

I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.
Oh no, they’re aware. They’re especially aware of the clueless people blaming them for not getting blood from stone.

It’s always money.

If only there were free public transport provided to every student outside a small radius of the school. That would make things so much simpler!
Seriously, I can’t wrap my head around this. Back in my day, pickup lines simply didn’t exist. You walked or you took the bus.
