Dear Editor:
Re: Parents, get a grip – you are failing your kids, Letter to the editor, the Record, Oct. 26.
Thank you, Shelley. When I started walking my grandchild to F.W. Howay Elementary School seven years ago, it was a bone of contention then, and it still is, as I walk the younger siblings.
I realize that some of the parents may be on their way to work, or a few don’t live within walking distance, but the majority choose to drop them off and sit in their idling car until the bell rings. The same routine happens at 2:45 p.m. until they are out of school.
And, I won’t even bring up the nightmare of when the snow falls!
