A Mom Wants To Know Why Some Parents Are Waiting 1-2 Hours At School Pick-Up
""I see so many posts about how parents have to line up for the school pickup line 1-2 hours before school is even out due to the line just taking forever,""
""I am so curious on how many kids attend your school where that is an issue? Our school has no buses and so kids either have to walk/bike/parent pickup and our pickup line is finished within 20 minutes of school getting out. For reference, our school has 300-400 kids.""
""The line starts forming easily two hours before school lets out. I have no fucking idea why they do this. If you wait and show up about 10-15 minutes after school lets out, then you're in and out in less than 10 minutes. My kid can wait outside for a couple of minutes instead of having me or my wife sit there idling a car burning fuel for 2 damned hours. People are crazy.""
Many parents report school pick-up lines that require one to two hours of waiting, while other schools with 300–400 students finish pickup within twenty minutes. Some drivers intentionally arrive hours early to secure position; others recommend arriving ten to fifteen minutes after dismissal to minimize delay. Long lines contribute to local traffic congestion and increased vehicle emissions from idling cars. Strong disagreements have emerged among parents, with some criticizing early line-ups and others explaining that early arrival is not optional for them due to work schedules or logistical constraints.
