The increase in parents driving their kids to school represents more than 10% of rush-hour traffic, causing significant congestion and frustration for many families and city planners.
As noted by Angie Schmitt, the school car line is perceived as a 'daily punishment,' illustrating the chaos resulting from increased parental drop-offs.
Pediatricians highlight the health implications of this phenomenon, including children being sedentary, exposed to harmful emissions, or at risk of accidents while being driven.
The car line situation fosters a sense of isolation among parents, who find themselves in their vehicles honking at neighbors rather than building community connections.
